CALL FOR PAPERS
Twelfth Annual
Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion & Disability:
Experience Understood in Image, Poetry, Narrative and Research
April 24 - 25, 2012
Held on The Ohio State University's Columbus Campus
During the course of packing for an office move I came across
well used copy of Knots by R.D. Laing, an existential psychiatrist whose
study of psychosis and mental illness influenced the development of the
Antipsychiatry movement. The book, written as Laing was struggling to
find a balance between the different types of knowledge gained from
listening to individual experience and increasingly statistical
aggregate research, with the different understandings engendered by art
and science, inspired this year's them. In the introduction to Knots he
described his effort:
"... I could have remained closer to the 'raw' data
in which these patterns appear. I could have distilled them further
towards an abstract logico-mathematical calculus. I hope they are not
so schematized that one may not refer back to the very specific
experiences from which they derive; yet that they are sufficiently
independent of 'content', for one to divine the final formal elegance in
these webs of maya."
Similarly, the theme for the Twelfth Annual Multiple
Perspectives, "Experience Understood in Image, Poetry, Narrative and
Research" reaches across disciplines, professions and modes of knowing
for a fuller understanding of disability. The theme facilitates our
twelve year exploration of disability as a reflection of the human
condition seen through the lenses environmental, theoretical and social
constructs as well as personal experience.
Preference will be given to presentations that encourage
conversations across the typical divisions (medical and social,
education and employment, research and practice, business and
government, rights and charity ...) or focus on the parallels,
distinctions and intersections with race, gender and ethnicity.
