Assistant Professor, Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Fall 2023 | Allison S. Reed’s work connects Black Feminist Studies with Disability & Mad Studies. She aims to help Black Feminist Studies more actively grapple with everyday lived experiences of madness, sickness, and disability as neglected categories within the intersectionality discourse, particularly in the domain of political participation. Her research has received funding and/or recognition from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Fahs-Beck Fund for Research and Experimentation, the Society for the Study of Social Problems, and the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology. Reed holds an MA and will receive her PhD in June 2023, both in sociology from the University of Chicago.
