Good morning,
when I awoke to find this message I sent last evening, I recognized that the
CFP which comprises it contains an error. The Congress at which the meeting
of the CDSA will take place is properly referred to as "The Congress of the
Humanities and Social Sciences" and it is organized annually by the Canadian
Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Sorry for any confusion
this may have caused. I have drawn this error to the attention of Cassandra
Phillips and Nancy Hansen, two of the CDSA Program co-chairs.
Best regards,
Shelley Lynn Tremain

Subject: Inaugural meeting of the Canadian Disability Studies Association
Confluence and Coalition in Community: Creating Dialogue within Disability
Studies
May 29-30, 2004
It is fitting that the inaugural meeting of the Canadian Disability Studies
Association/Association Canadienne d'Etudes sur le Handicap at the Congress
of the Social Sciences Federation of Canada, 2004, be held in Winnipeg, the
birthplace of the Disabled People's Movement in Canada. We invite abstracts
from academics, community members and graduate students for papers/panels on
the intersections with (and within) disability and disability studies,
including disability and medicine; social policy and disability; disability
history; the immigrant experience and disability; law and disability;
disability and queerness; disability and culture; disability in literature;
feminism and disability; ethics and disability, disability and pedagogy; and
disability and personal/private space.
What is Disability Studies?
How does and where can disability studies scholarship contribute
to/reconfigure current discourses on disability? We invite papers and
panels that question disability studies and its terms, assumptions,
tendencies and directions. What are the multiple, sometimes conflicting,
dialogues within disability studies? How can disability studies, science,
health and policy reciprocally intersect and inform one another?
Disability and Pedagogy
We welcome papers and panels exploring questions fundamental to disability
pedagogy: How can professors mentor students toward becoming disability
studies scholars? What issues are at stake when disabled/non-disabled
professors teach disability studies classes? What are the strategies for
opening up a dialog in disability theory in 'mainstream' classes? How might
taking the access requirements for diverse audience members into
consideration result in presentation modalities that are new, exciting, and
encourage a richer, participatory dialogue? How might imaginative thinking,
spurred on by access requirements, pose new possibilities for intellectual
discourse? What is the role of new technologies in teaching disability
studies?
Presenters should, at minimum, plan on making their presentations fully
accessible to all CDSA/ACEH attendees. This includes providing hard copy and
large print hard copies (18 point font or larger), e-text versions of papers
in advance of their delivery, providing audio description of visual images
and charts, and supplying summaries and handouts as necessary. Presentations
should also be planned so that their delivery will accommodate ASL
translation within time constraints. This is an opportunity not only to meet
accommodation of those in attendance, but also to enhance/re-imagine
traditional modes of conference presentation.
The deadline for receipt of Abstracts is January 7, 2004. Participants will
be notified of acceptance by February 7, 2004. Information on proposal
submission will follow with acceptance Please submit abstracts
electronically (using MS Word) to Cassandra
