School of Disability Studies

DS Toronto METU operates as a collaborative academic resource center between the University of Toronto Scarborough and Toronto Metropolitan University's disability studies departments. The center specializes in critical disability studies research, with particular focus on intersectional frameworks examining disability through race, gender, and class perspectives. The initiative connects disability scholars across both institutions while maintaining dedicated programming at each campus location. The center hosts academic panels featuring critical disability studies faculty and researchers from both universities throughout the academic year. Content includes recorded lectures, published papers, and scholarly discussions examining disability communities' responses to systemic challenges. The programming emphasizes disability justice scholarship while documenting how disabled communities develop resilience strategies. The resource hub provides concrete admissions and transition support for prospective students entering Toronto Metropolitan University's disability studies programs. Academic advisors offer guidance on undergraduate pathways, program requirements, and university navigation resources specific to disability studies concentrations. The center maintains an active presence in Toronto's disability studies academic community through regular scholarly events and student support services.
