Dear all
An interesting Seminar for anyone in Sydney in September.
Regards
Simon
============
The Disability Studies and Research Institute Seminar Series
(formally Social Relations of Disability Research Network) cordially invite
you to our September conference DISABILITY AT THE CUTTING EDGE: a
colloquium to examine the impact on theory, research and professional practice.
The 'social model of disability' argues that although individuals may have
various impairments, the degree and nature of the disability they
experience will be a result of what arrangements society makes to support
their social, economic and cultural participation. Such insight has
critical implications for professional disciplines from engineering to law,
from nursing to architecture, from communications to business and commerce.
In recognition of how these issues are central to contemporary social
research, the UTS Transforming Cultures research centre joins with DSaRI to
present this day long colloquium on Disability and the Humanities and
Social Sciences. The colloquium will hear from four academics active in
disability research. Prof Ashley Craig (UTS), Helen Meekosha (UNSW), Dr
Jani Klotz, an independent researcher and Prof Andrew Jakubowicz (UTS) will
reflect on the central disciplinary questions raised for them by the impact
of disability studies.
