Thank you Irene,
That's very kind of you- and thank you for your contributions too.
Thank you also for the signposting towards the web resources
and for the references. I'm hoping others will use the jiscmail and the website
as a resoruce in this way- so thanks again for beginning this!
This weekend I hope to extend the website a little by building in a page for
resources , although there is currently space to leave suggestions etc.

I will now start work on developing the edited collection. I will communicate
any news of this here and on the website.
With many thanks to all who attended and others who contributed along the way
Alison

Subject: Conference & Book Releases
Hello All,
I just thought I would pop on line to say thank you to Margaret and Alison for
organising the conference yesterday. In these turbulent times it isn't always
easy getting the money, time or departmental support for such ventures so many
thanks to you both.
Also thank you to all the presenters for giving thought provoking papers.
Two new recent book releases that list members might be interested in are
Representing Disability in an Ableist World by Beth Haller.
The Problem Body: Projecting Disability on Film by Sally Shivers and Nicole
Markotic
Beth Haller is also author of the disability and media blog, media dis-n- dat
which offers access to a VAST amount of stories covering disability in the US.
She has also recently started a more concentrated source of media resources.
Adresses for the blogs are:
http://media-and-disability.blogspot.com/
http://media-dis-n-dat.blogspot.com/
Annoyingly the above won't hyperlink so fingers crossed they do when it is sent,
and apologies if they don't.
Hope to have many a conversation on this list now we're up and running.
All the best,
Irene.
