Supporting Independent Scholarship
Chris Wells, PhD, is an independent scholar, author, and podcaster dedicated to sharing Dąbrowski's theory of positive disintegration with the world. As president of the Dąbrowski Center and co-host of the Positive Disintegration and PDA: Resistance and Resilience podcasts, Chris's work spans research, writing, community-building, and public education.
Independent scholarship means no university affiliation, no departmental funding, and no institutional support for the work that makes all of this possible—the research, the writing, the conferences, the travel. Your donation helps sustain this work and keep it going.
Current goal: Chris has been accepted to present two sessions at the Critical Autoethnography Conference in Brisbane, Australia (September 30–October 2, 2026). The $5,000 goal covers flights, registration, and accommodation.
Any amount helps. Thank you for supporting this work.
The Dąbrowski Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 87-4818928). Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. Please consult your tax advisor to determine the deductibility of your contribution.

This donation is coming as a result of reading the work and writings of Dr. Chris Wells. Their integrity, depth of thinking and immense effort into their work comes across. Chris really does a fantastic job of writing in a way that brings TPD to life in a relatable way, without trying to flatten it into something overly simplified or to suit any particular agenda (just because it might suit). Look forward to reading every piece Chris posts!
