About Us

The Disability Studies Graduate Student Association (DSGSA) is an organization for graduate students who are interested in disability studies or learning more about it. Our association provides opportunities for networking, professionalization, and more.

We hold several key events during the year, including keynotes and workshops for graduate students, in which we invite Disability Studies (DS) scholars to discuss their work and interface with students. In the past we have brought scholars such as Dr. Therí A. Pickens  and Dr. Travis Chi Wing Lau to speak.

Our current officers are:

  • Melissa Guadrón (she/her), President
  • Addison Koneval (she/her), Vice President
  • Jamie Utphall (she/her), Treasurer
