Dear all
The MeCCSA Disability Studies Network would like to put a panel proposal together for next year's MeCCCSA conference
in Northumbria. We could tie this closely to the generation/s theme (as suggested below) or perhaps do something else
with a general theme drawing papers together- such as media intersections of disability/impairment with class, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality or age. Your ideas would
also be welcomed.
We should have a network meeting at this event but it would be good to have a stronger presence in the form of a
disability panel. If you would like to be part of this panel please email myself ([log in to unmask]),
Debs Williams ([log in to unmask]), or Carrie Hodges ( [log in to unmask]).
Please see below for the initial call.
Best wishes
Alison
