The fourth in the series of highly successful online events, Supporting
Deaf People 2006 will take place from the 6th - 9th of November. These
conferences offer an international platform for information exchange and
debate. To date, participants to SDP conferences have come from nearly 30
different countries over 5 continents.
For the forthcoming conference, we invite submissions for presentations
under the following themes. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
- Deafhood/deafnicity (being deaf, deaf culture, the deaf experience, deaf
perspectives, deaf politics, deaf people from minority backgrounds - living
in three cultures simultaneously, deaf views of communication support,
building a global deaf community...)
- Future visions (new perspectives on deaf support, alternative views, a
cross-educational approach to support within a lifelong learning agenda,
practical issues to improve the future of deaf education...)
- Working with deaf people in specialist domains
- Open topic (papers in this theme will be selected on their merits and
interest to the field).
Due to the international nature of the conference, audiences will come from
different situations and professional backgrounds. We strongly encourage
proposals which bridge these cultural differences and be understandable to
delegates from any country. We welcome presentations in alternative formats
(video, PowerPoint, etc.) and in sign language, provided these are made
accessible through transcripts.
Please send your submission in the form of a proposed title, an abstract
(approx. 200 words) and a short biography to [log in to unmask]
Dates:
- Proposal submission deadline: April 15th, 2006
- Notification of acceptance or rejection: April 20th, 2006
- Presentations due: October 13th, 2006
All accepted presenters will receive a free conference place and a
