“…The UMass Alliance for Community Transformation (UACT), housed in the Anthropology department, is another such site of experimentation. This program supports practices of solidaristic relationality as a means of transforming academic spaces and fostering alternative world-making projects (Sandler, 2019). 4 We use "full-scale invasion," "Russian-Ukrainian war" (the official terminology of the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory) and "war" to avoid falling into the ideological trap that the Russian media and political establishment…”

“…Via classes, research and community‐affiliated projects, these colleagues experiment in bringing solidaristic, relational practices into the academic spaces we inhabit 3. We read some of this recent work in preparation for our dialogue, as well as works recommended to us by these colleagues (Arnold & Aulino, 2021; Sandler, 2019). In this rich institutional and interpersonal context we all committed to rooting our work together in an ethic of care.…”

This piece weaves together the voices of four feminist disability studies scholars and anthropologists whose work has been profoundly shaped by Russia's war of aggression. Composed via a dialogic encounter, it is based on a panel presentation on the topic of disability studies in war and care that took place at the University of Massachusetts Amherst just before the 1‐year mark of the full‐scale invasion. We came together to share insights and consider the best ways to practice horizontal solidarity, our approach inspired by recent work on feminist epistemology and methodology and scholarship on care, and disability studies. The text assumes a dialogic form, presenting our reflections as well as the contexts that shape our knowledge production and sharing the process of scaffolding our “Dis‐Fem” conversation. In dialogue with the decolonizing discussions that animate feminist, anthropological, and Slavic Studies, as well as critical disability scholarship, it centers on the work of Ukrainian scholar‐activists associated with the organization of people with disabilities (OPD) Fight For Right. In foregrounding their work, it traces the creative ways they've mobilized data and the experimental and collaborative data practices they've harnessed. Finally, it asks questions about trans‐local solidarities we can enact and ways we might forge novel, “otherwise” ways to collaborate.
