In Fall of 2017, after a decade as founding and ongoing director of the university-wide NYU Council for the Study of Disability, anthropology professor Faye Ginsburg (and co-director Mara Mills (Associate Professor, Media, Culture & Communication) received Provostial Funding to launch the new Center for Disability Studies (CDS). We are really excited to have not only a strong inter-disciplinary and cutting-edge initiative, but also to bring this important field into the center of anthropological study, as Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp argued in a  groundbreaking article in 2013. http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev-anthro-092412-155502
