Join us for Student Perspectives, a reception and poster competition at the 2015 Multiple Perspectives Conference<http://ada.osu.edu/conferences/2015Conf/2015agenda.html> on Monday April 13th at 4:30 in the Blackwell Hotel on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University The poster competition encourages students to network with professionals, the community, and scholars who share their interests in disability. A generous gift from the Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation funds cash awards for graduate research, undergraduate research, arts, community service and class projects focused on disability.
The receptions and poster competition follows The Annual Ken Campbell Lecture on Disability Policy, a free public lecture presented this year by Lennard J. Davis. "The Stories We Tell: The Americans with Disabilities Act After 25 Years" is based on his forthcoming book, Enabling Acts, illustrating the successes and shortcomings of the ADA's first 25 years through individual stories in areas ranging from employment, education, and transportation to shifting social attitudes.
