Yep think I might be able to come up with something challenging on that, eg.
a critique of the linquistic presumptiosness of the current model and the
need to consider whether it is not time for a further emancipatory paradigm
shift, and whether the current "movement" is capable of reacting in any way
differently from the medical modelists when they were challenged. Time to
do away with "impairment" altogether and look entirely at post modernist
relativity as a basis for understanding the social construction of
difference and disadvantage. Just need a snazzy title for that and something
a bit better composed as an abstract.

> An Open Call for Papers, Posters and Panel Sessions
> www.disabilitystudies.net

> Thirty years ago UPIAS were embarking on a project to replace the
> expertise based on a professionalised knowledge of impairment with one
> based on the lived experience of disablement. This approach, which has
> focussed on disability as a social relationship, has been developed by
> disability activists, academics, researchers, policy analysts and
> practitioners, has evolved into disability studies. The 3rd Disability
> Studies Association conference provides an opportunity for people from
> each of these spheres of disability studies to meet together to share
> their knowledge and experience in studying disability issues.
>
> On the 30th anniversary of the publication of the Fundamental Principles
> of Disability, we invite you to submit abstracts for either paper or
> poster presentations, which illustrate or reflect the extent to
> which that
> change of expertise has occurred. In particular, the themes of the 2006
> conference will include:
> · Disability History
> · Challenging the Expert View
> · Professions and Services
> · Disability across the Life Course
> · Disability Studies within Science Subjects
> · Spatial Change
> · Morality and Bio Ethics
> · Emancipatory Methodologies
> · Inclusive understandings of disability
>
> The Disability Studies Association particularly welcome submissions from
> students of disability studies and the conference will provide a
> supportive environment for people making their first such presentations.
>
> Please submit abstracts via the on-line form at www.disabilitystudies.net
> Conference information and booking form will be available shortly.
