Following yesterday’s announcement about our Black Disability Institute, we’re beyond thrilled that our friend @drsamischalk.bsky.social is joining the team as a Senior Research Fellow through May 2026! We are really looking forward to doing some great work together this year and next.
At the top, bold black text reads: “DR. SAMI SCHALK.” Below, a photo shows Dr. Schalk, a Black woman, smiling brightly in a pink ruffled dress with white gloves and glasses, standing outdoors against a background of greenery. At the bottom, a purple text box states: “New Disabled South is thrilled to welcome Dr. Sami Schalk, renowned scholar, activist, and author of *Black Disability Politics*, to the team as a Senior Research Fellow with the Black Disability Institute!” Logos for the Black Disability Institute and New Disabled South appear in the bottom corners.
