History Conference: looking forward to a better past? 25th - 26th June,
2010
Plenary Speakers:
Professor Catherine J Kudlick, University of California, Davis
Professor Eva Simonsen, Oslo University
Disability history has emerged in recent years as an increasingly
popular sub-discipline of historical research, covering social,
cultural, medical, practical, gendered, technological and linguistic
aspects of the lives of those seen by society as having ‘disabled’
bodies and minds. The Disability History Group are pleased to announce
their latest conference.‘Disability History: looking forward to a better
past?’ which promotes the DHG’s goal to advance research into the
history of disability. It is hoped the conference will broaden the scope
of disability history and deliver fresh and dynamic perspectives on the
way disability has been used to legitimate and understand norms, social
relations, inequality, and oppression. This includes historical research
into individuals, groups and institutions, as well as
representations/constructions and perspectives on disability.
Also attached is the conference booking form.

Emma Kelly
Conference Officer
