CALL FOR PAPERS
<http://ada.osu.edu/conferences/2012Conf/2012callforpapers.html>
Twelfth Annual Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion & Disability:
Experience Understood Through Image, Poetry, Narrative and Research
April 24 - 25, 2012
Held on The Ohio State University's Columbus Campus
Proposals are due December 5th, 2011
During the course of packing for an office move I came across a
well-used copy of Knots by R.D. Laing, an existential psychiatrist whose
study of psychosis and mental illness influenced the development of the
Antipsychiatry movement. The book, written as Laing was struggling to
find a balance between the different types of knowledge gained from
listening to individual experience and increasingly statistical
aggregate research, with the different understandings engendered by art
and science, inspired this year's theme. In the introduction to Knots he
described his effort:
"... I could have remained closer to the 'raw' data in which these
patterns appear. I could have distilled them further towards an
abstract logico-mathematical calculus. I hope they are not so
schematized that one may not refer back to the very specific experiences
from which they derive; yet that they are sufficiently independent of
'content', for one to divine the final formal elegance in these webs of
maya."
Similarly, the theme for the Twelfth Annual Multiple Perspectives,
"Experience Understood in Image, Poetry, Narrative and Research" reaches
across disciplines, professions and modes of knowing for a fuller
understanding of disability. The theme facilitates our twelve year
exploration of disability as a reflection of the human condition as seen
through the lenses of environmental, theoretical and social constructs
as well as personal experience.
Preference will be given to presentations that encourage conversations
across the typical divisions (medical and social, education and
employment, research and practice, business and government, rights and
charity ...) or focus on the parallels, distinctions and intersections
with race, gender and ethnicity
