The Interdisciplinary Graduate Group in Disability Studies
(IGGDS), Institute for Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA), and
Center for German and European Studies (CGES) of the University of
Minnesota are pleased to announce a call for proposals for the
first Minnesota Symposium in Disability Studies and Inclusive
Education.
Format: Organized as an intensive workshop meeting, the symposium
features research projects by a group of 10-15 (?) scholars. We
solicit the submission of projects-in-progress of any length. The
selected papers, book chapters, and other writings will be made
available online to all participants well in advance of the
meeting. Each work will be the subject of an hour-long session, in
which the author will give a brief introduction, followed by
discussion. This format will give a small group of authors
extraordinary attention.
The symposium will be devoted to three themes:
1) Disability Studies Curriculum: This symposium is the
culmination of the first year of the IGGDS, whose mission is the
creation of a disability studies program at the U of M. We are
interested in learning about all aspects of curriculum and program
development, assessment, and reception.
2) Disability Studies Methodology: We are looking for examples of
research that model diverse ways of knowing and discovering.
3) Inclusive Education: The 1^st Minnesota Symposium is also the
final phase of a CGES Research Collaborative on inclusive
education that brings together scholars from the University of
Minnesota and the University of Malta. We are interested in
inclusive education at all levels, in all subjects, and facets,
from implementation to politics.
There is no registration fee. We will attempt to provide all
meals, some nightlife, and recommendations for accommodations.
Late July is a great time to enjoy the Twin Cities. A publishing
collaborative will be formed from conference attendees to identify
the best forum for dissemination of research.
Please send 250-word abstracts by May 15 to conference
