So floored to see so many new followers! I'm @Nicole_Lee_Sch and I (for now) run the social media acct for the DAC. Collectively, our membership provides support to disabled individuals of higher ed. If you'd like a link to our server feel free to DM 1/7
Also check out our website where we have basic resources on accessibility and guest blog posts written by our membership. If you'd like to write something about disability and higher ed feel free to reach out! 2/7
Hopefully our membership will continue to grow throughout 2021. As the founder of the DAC I am so excited to see all that we have done, and to imagine all that we might do. Our members have supported one another in so many ways! 3/7
We have daily work accountability buddies and we've hosted mock job talks and conference talks. We have a disability studies discussion group and hopefully we'll be offering some skill sharing workshops this spring. 4/7
It was my goal to build a space for disabled academics to unabashedly be themselves and discuss the struggles and successes of navigating the academy. I'm constantly floored by the kindness, ingenuity, and helpfulness of our members. 5/7
The DAC has been the most successful creation of my graduate school career, and now it's grown far beyond me and its original small circle. Every member has been so incredibly giving of their time, empathy, and experiences. 6/7
The academy will doubtlessly throw us challenges in 2021, as it always does, but I feel ready to take them on with the DAC membership by my side. I'm excited to see what barriers we might tear down this year, and what ways well grow together. To 2021. 7/7
