News from the ŒDisability and Politics¹ PSA Specialist Group!
ŒDisability and Politics¹ is a Specialist Group of the PSA (Political
Studies Association of the UK, see www.psa.ac.uk <http://www.psa.ac.uk> ).
Swansea University will host the Annual Conference of the PSA on 1 3 April
2008 and the Specialist Group will be represented by two panels of papers
delivered by distinguished scholars and young researchers. This is cause for
celebration since the ŒDisability and Politics¹ Specialist Group has only
been established last year!
The papers cover a wide range of themes within the field of disability
policies and politics, amongst others:
Valeria Harwood (University of Wollongong): Politics and truth: Discourses
of legitimation and the de-politicisation of youth citizenship
David Race (Salford University): Intellectual Disabilities - Policies,
perspectives and services in seven countries - Adam's World Tour
Jennifer Clegg (Nottingham University): Precarious Personhood (co-authored
with Elizabeth Murphy and Kathryn Almack)
Lisa Vanhala (Nuffield College/Oxford): Strategy choice in disability rights
organizations - a theoretical re-consideration
Axel Kaehne (Cardiff University): Notions of personhood and the issue of
intellectual disabilities
