The Symposium of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies
Date: Wednesday 16 December, 2015
Time: 9:30am–2:30pm
Place: The EDEN Building, Liverpool Hope University, UK
The Centre for Culture and Disability Studies (CCDS) is the institutional base for the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies (Liverpool University Press) and the book series Literary Disability Studies (Palgrave Macmillan). Given that the journal is approaching its 10th anniversary and the series has started publishing its 1st run of books, the CCDS will now endeavour to sustain this progress in the field by hosting the Symposium of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies. This is a unique opportunity to explore and exchange new ideas about literary and cultural representations and theories of disability.
Attendance is free but must be booked via the online store: http://store.hope.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=1&deptid=11&catid=31&prodid=1556
