Culture, Policy and Global Change
Disability Studies approaches disability as a social and cultural phenomena in which localized and global interpretations include socio-cultural, historical, political and rights-based perspectives.
The Pacific Rim International Conference on Disabilities topic area, Disability Studies: Culture, Policy and Global Change, seeks to imagine and convey where Disability Studies is at present, how it is evolving, and what it entails for the immediate and more distant future.
We welcome proposals in any area of Disability Studies, including:
Current developments and national and global approaches to Disability Studies programs;
Historical and contemporary perspectives about Disability Studies;
Retrospectives and future directions in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the American’s with Disabilities Act;
Present and future impacts of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on Disability Studies
The role of the Internet and technology, including social networking, distance learning, Universal Design and online research tools, on Disability Studies research and dissemination
The intersections, including integration and collaboration, between Disability Studies and other disciplines
The ways in which Disability Culture has informed Disability Studies
