Disability Studies: Research and Learning
18th - 20th September 2006, Lancaster University
An Open Call for Papers, Posters and Panel Sessions
www.disabilitystudies.net
Thirty years ago UPIAS were embarking on a project to replace the
expertise based on a professionalised knowledge of impairment with one
based on the lived experience of disablement. This approach, which has
focussed on disability as a social relationship, has been developed by
disability activists, academics, researchers, policy analysts and
practitioners, has evolved into disability studies. The 3rd Disability
Studies Association conference provides an opportunity for people from
each of these spheres of disability studies to meet together to share
their knowledge and experience in studying disability issues. Confirmed
keynote speakers include Peter Beresford, Jane Campbell, Joe Camilleri,
Lorraine Gradwell and Tom Shakespeare.
On the 30th anniversary of the publication of the Fundamental Principles
of Disability, we invite you to submit abstracts for either paper or
poster presentations, which illustrate or reflect the extent to which that
change of expertise has occurred. In particular, the themes of the 2006
conference will include:
· Disability History
· Challenging the Expert View
· Professions and Services
· Disability across the Life Course
· Disability Studies within Science Subjects
· Spatial Change
· Morality and Bio Ethics
· Emancipatory Methodologies
· Inclusive understandings of disability
The Disability Studies Association particularly welcome submissions from
students of disability studies and the conference will provide a
supportive environment for people making their first such presentations.
The deadline for submissions is 1st March 2006. The Reviewing Panel will
make its decisions by 3rd April and the provisional programme will be
published on 1st May.
Please submit abstracts via the on-line form. Conference information and
booking form is available at
