The International Conference on Disability, Culture, and Education
Mié, 11/09/2013 - Jue, 12/09/2013
On 11th-12th September 2013, the International Conference on Disability, Culture, and Education under the theme “Avoidance in/and the Academy”, organised by David Bolt, Claire Penketh, and Chris Lowry, will take place at the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies, Liverpool Hope University, UK.
The organizers write about the event the following:
Bringing together work in the humanities, education, and the social sciences more generally, the purpose of this conference is to aid curricular reform by exploring and demonstrating ways in which we can and do make explicit the interdisciplinary significance of disability studies and disability theory.
In the spirit of Snyder, Brueggemann, and Garland-Thomson’s work of a decade ago, we want to enable not just the humanities but the academy more broadly, to reveal and address avoidance at all levels.
