This is an important topic, and a challenge will be how to relate this important thinking to the “real world” of everyday living, interactions with officials and politics.
Given that it has a strong eco focus, is it possible to deliver papers online, via Skype or some other technology? I would like to submit an abstract for consideration, but could not justify, on a number of grounds, the cost of comng across from Australia.
And happy to chip in for Larry to attend ...

I wonder if I were to subvert the notion of the abstract and submit a blank “watch this space” how that would go down? I suppose there is only so far you can go before academia collapses and rears it’s ugly head, as it essentially abhors anarchism.
Well there are only so many conferences you can attend and I am rather disillusioned with my own pretensions anyway. My allotment is where it is at right now.
Watch this space anyway J

Theorizing Normalcy and the Mundane 3rd International Conference
"Cripping the Norm"
26th- 27th June 2012 University of Chester, United Kingdom
Keynote Speakers: James Overboe, Margrit Shildrick, China Mills, Cassie Ogden.
A conference jointly-hosted by University of Chester in association with Critical Disability Studies (Manchester Metropolitan University) (MMU) and the Disability Research Forum (Sheffield Hallam University)
This 3rd international conference builds on the success of the Normalcy2010 and Normalcy2011 conferences held in Manchester and seeks, again, to bring together an international group of disability studies researchers. Our conference moves to the beautiful Cathedral town of Chester (located on the border of England and Wales)
This conference will critically explore and debate issues in the following areas:
- exploring the cultural and political production of normalcy
- addressing our obsession with reason and rationality
- connecting ableism with other hegemonies including heterosexism, racism and ageism
- analysing the barriers and possibilities of the mundane and extraordinary
- deconstructing new pathologies and ‘abnormalities’
- celebrating deviations from the norm
- affirming crip identities and ways of living
Our aim is for this conference to be as inclusive as possible. We welcome activists, undergraduate and postgraduate students, practitioners and academics to join us. In the spirit of an eco-friendly conference, registered delegates will be sent an e-pack.Details of accommodation near the venue will also be sent to delegates.
This year, to cover costs of refreshment and lunches, we will be charging a flat rate of £75 per delegate. Free registration is still available however for full time students and the out of work.
For further information (or to request a code to allow free registration) please contact Dr Cassie Ogden: [log in to unmask] - tel (01244 512068)
