Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion, and Disability:
Rights, Responsibilities, and Social Change
April 3 & 4, 2007
The Ohio State University
Columbus Campus
"If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am
only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?"
- Hillel The Elder
As a modern land grant university, an important part of The Ohio State
University's mission is outreach and engagement, serving the community
through a variety of activities. During the tenth anniversary year of
the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), the Multiple Perspectives On
Access, Inclusion And Disability conference was created to help fulfill
this mission.
The organizing theme for this year's Multiple Perspectives conference
"Rights, Responsibilities and Social Change" seems appropriate to a year
that has seen the passage of the United Nation's Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities and looks forward to the public
debate and impending presidential election. The theme is meant to
encourage presenters and participants to consider topics, methods and
programs from a fresh perspective.
Continuing the tradition of the past six years, the Seventh Annual
Multiple Perspectives conference will bring together a diverse audience
to explore disability as both an individual experience and social
reality that cuts across typical divisions of education and employment,
scholarship and service, business and government, and race, gender, and
ethnicity.
