Researching the History of Disability: A Symposium
Date: Thursday 28 October 2004
Location: CHSTM, University of Manchester
The History of Disability is a growing area of research internationally.
The purpose of this day is to bring interested researchers in Britain
together to discuss their work and future projects in an informal
manner. The day will consist of one keynote presentation, a series of
short addresses explaining current research and a general discussion
about the future of the subject.
The keynote address will be given by Professor Catherine Kudlick,
University of California, Davis and author of _Reflections: the Life and
Writings of a Young Blind Woman in Post-Revolutionary France_ with Dr.
Zina Weygand, Centre National des Arts et Métiers, Paris (New York
University Press, 2001) and "Disability history: why we need another
'other'," _American Historical Review_, 2003. More details, and a full
programme of the day’s activities will be made available in early
September.
