CALL FOR PAPERS Intersections and Independence: The Thirteenth Annual Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion & Disability: April 16 - 17, 2013 Held on The Ohio State University's Columbus Campus This year's theme focuses presenters on the frictions, synergies and synthesis that occur at the boundaries of multiple roles, identities and perspectives within individuals and between them. Some possibilities to consider: * Exploration of the simultaneous influences of models of disability (charity, medical, legal, social...) on individual experience, norms or systems change. * Universal Design; Independence and identity; Built, virtual & social environments. * How disability influences gender, ethnic and racial identities or how they influence disability identity development. * Representations of disability. * Variations in privilege and oppression across identities and roles. * Locating disability: person, place or attitude. * Trends in law, education, business, public policy, ... Preference will be given to presentations that encourage conversations across the typical boundaries (care and independence, education and employment, research and practice, business and government, rights and charity ...) or focus broadly on difference by incorporating parallels and contrasts with race, gender and ethnicity.
