The new DisC (Disability Studies at Cal) effort, launched originally in 2000-2001 by the joint recipients of the 2000 Presidential Chair in Undergraduate Education, represents an exciting new direction for the Berkeley campus. A growing group of over 43 faculty board members is working to establish a cluster of undergraduate courses in this emerging interdisciplinary field. A disability studies emphasis in the American Studies major was approved in Spring 2001. A proposal to establish a full-fledged undergraduate minor in disability studies, housed in Undergraduate and Interdisciplinary Studies, has been accepted. A five-year post-doctoral program, the Ed Roberts Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Disability Studies, funded by the National Institute for Disability Research and Rehabilitation and run through the Institute for Urban and Regional Development, is in its third year in 2004-2005.
