The call for papers is now open and the closing date for submission of abstracts will be 30th April 2010. Submissions are particularly welcome from students, activists and first time presenters.

In particular the reviewing committee would welcome submissions in the following areas: * Political change - global, national and local * War, conflict and the construction of disability * Access to health care * Debates about eugenics and assisted dying * Independent living, rights and citizenship * Culture, history and arts * Theoretical and methodological ideas and debates The reviewing committee would also welcome abstracts for poster presentations about the work of organisations, networks and groups which are related to disability studies.
