We would like to identify specific contributors for each date. The series will continue as long as there is interest.
3. Entries could cover any aspect of disability studies in higher education, as it relate to human rights and social justice, to public policy, health and wellness, innovation and creativity, sports and culture, nanotechnology, disabilities in historical and comparative context, etc etc.
