The Western Australian Disability Collective, The Institute of Advanced
Studies and the University of Western Australia are pleased to announce the
following one day symposium:
DRIVING CHANGE IN THE DISABILITY SECTOR
A multi-disciplinary symposium
6 May 2008
Seminar Room 1, University Club
The University of Western Australia
The topic of inclusion is a concept that has many faces, many
interpretations and although controversial, may in some instances be an
intended disguise for exclusion. This symposium approaches the notion of
inclusion, in relation to the participation of people with disability from a
variety of perspectives. This symposium is designed to engage you in
rigorous debate, confront our notions of inclusion and lead to initiating
change in the disability sector. We welcome your participation and extend an
invitation to you to what will be a lively and thought provoking experience.
