The Communities of Care project fosters and supports scholars whose work contributes to conversations about disability and care work. Topics include disability and social justice, access, and social, historical, and cultural understandings of disability and care work.
The 2025 Call for Grant Proposals for Faculty Course Development is forthcoming.
The UB Communities of Care project will seek proposals from UB faculty for grants to create courses related to the themes of the Mellon Foundation's “Communities of Care” project. Applicants may define “community” and “care” broadly. We are especially interested in work that explores the intersections of care, community, race, disability (which may include mental health and chronic illness), gender, and sexuality.
