Welcome to the Diversity and Identity Studies Collective at The Ohio State University (or what we affectionately term as DISCO).

The Diversity and Identity Studies Collective at OSU is an interdisciplinary and university-wide project that seeks to coordinate and foster collaboration among departments and academic programs that focus on aspects of diverse identities: African American and African Studies, American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Comparative Ethnic and American Studies, Disability Studies, Latino/a Studies, Sexuality Studies, and Women’s Studies.  The primary goals of the collective are to:

• Promote innovative and intersectional research on issues of diversity, identity, and social difference and power.
• Coordinate and advertise courses and curricula on these issues.
• Sponsor diversity-focused intellectual and creative programs.

The purpose of this website is to help students interested in pursuing any major or minor or just interested in taking a few classes in the areas of diversity and identity studies. Here you will find links to different departments and their course offerings. Some of the departments with information included in this website are:

• Department of African American and African Studies
• Department of Comparative Studies
• Department of Women's Studies
• American Indian Studies
• Asian American Studies
• Latino/a Studies
• Disability Studies
• Sexuality Studies
