Canadian Disability Studies Association 4th Annual Conference Saturday, May 26th & Sunday, May 27th, University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada SECOND CALL FOR POSTERS The poster session, which will take place alongside paper presentations at the CDSA, encourages and supports undergraduate and graduate students who have not participated in an academic conference before to participate in the conference. Moreover, the poster session is an opportunity to foster networking and dialogue between students, professors, professionals and/or disabled activists working on issues pertaining to disability studies. The poster session is not exclusive to student participation; disability activists, artists and faculty are also encouraged to participate. Unfortunately, the CDSA does not have funding available to support presenters, however, participants will receive a letter from the CDSA confirming their participation in the conference which will allow them to apply for funding from the applicable organization or institution. Abstracts of 150 words should describe research in progress or completed research projects (keeping in mind that the poster session is a time to receive feedback from others) and describe how it contributes to the field of disability studies. Posters that address disability activism, art and/ or culture are welcomed. People in disciplines outside of disability studies are also encouraged to participate. Following the 150 word abstract, a 100 word description of the format of your poster must be included, describing how your poster will be accessible to everyone at the conference. Poster size cannot exceed 3 x 5 feet. Abstracts should be sent by Tuesday, April 24, 2007 to Jennifer Paterson, CDSA National Student Representative.
