Partner Seminars

Overview

CDS is proud of our numerous community and agency partnerships and collaborations over the history of our Center as Hawaii’s University Center for Excellence on Developmental Disabilities. Every other month, we spotlight one speaker or organization and let them share more about who they are, the work they do, and the work they continue to do or have done in relation to CDS and our areas of study and research. We hope these presentations spark new or expanded collaborations for our community and deepen our understanding of these wonderful individuals, organizations, and resources.

Previous Seminars

All seminars are recorded and uploaded to our CDS Partner Seminars YouTube Playlist on the Center on Disability Studies YouTube page, so if you can’t make it to one of our seminars or want to view any of our previous seminars, you can always find the recorded uploads at the above links. Please note that recordings are uploaded to our YouTube page roughly 2-3 weeks after the date of each seminar taking place to allow our team time to properly edit and caption our videos for our audience.

Inquiries

We are always on the lookout for speakers for our seminars and greatly appreciate any networks or partners that you can share with us to widen our search and showcase a wide range of topics, values, and initiatives. If you have an individual or organization you can suggest to us as a speaker for our Partner Seminars, please do so by emailing Operations/Pac Rim Conference Coordinator Max Malmud at mmalmud@hawaii.edu to express interest in being a future speaker.
