> The organizing theme for this year's Multiple Perspectives conference
> "Rights, Responsibilities & Social Change" seems appropriate to a year
> that has seen the passage of the United Nation's Convention on the
> Rights of Persons with Disabilities and looks forward to the public
> debate and impending presidential election. Continuing the tradition
> of the past six years, the Seventh Annual Multiple Perspectives
> conference will bring together a diverse audience to explore
> disability as both an individual experience and social reality that
> cuts across typical divisions of education & employment; scholarship &
> service; business & government; race, gender & ethnicity. The theme
> is meant to encourage presenters and participants to consider topics,
> methods and programs from a fresh perspective.
>
> Conference information and updates will be posted to:

> "As social movements mature, they begin to look beyond the 'letter of
> the law', which emphasizes ethics and values, and promulgate systemic
