The International Disabilities Studies, Arts & Education Network

The International Disability Studies, Arts & Education (iDSAE) network brings together disabled individuals, disability activists, advocates, artists, researchers, educators, students, and members of the disability communities who share an interest in, or whose work and/or life addresses, the intersections and interplay between critical disability studies, arts, and education. Following Critical Disability Studies philosophy, iDSAE focuses on positive cultural disability identity and acknowledgement of lived experiences.

iDSAE organizes biennial conferences and virtual Forums on alternating years. A special issue journal follows each conference.
