DISC: A Disabilities Studies Academic Community
The DISC website was a MITH Fellowship project of Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, and was an outgrowth of her early work, begun in the mid-1990's, attempting to establish disability studies as a legitimate academic field of study. The DISC site was an international, interdisciplinary, user-generated, digital forum providing support, collegial networks, and information that sustains a disability studies academic community and promotes disability studies in a humanities focus.
