Hi David
I'm sure the conference in July will be fascinating, as is the subject.
What remains disturbing is the ongoing preventable harm created by UK social policies, when influenced by corporate America, which is not perused in academic research.
Please see attached journal articles, recently published, plus a seminar presentation from the Welfare Imaginaries Conference held in Liverpool last September, which may be of interest.

My book 'Cash Not Care: the planned demolition of the UK welfare state', published in September 2016, is being added to university libraries and is now recommended reading on a variety of social policy courses. There seems to be an increasing academic interest in the research, hence this contact.

Tanya is familiar with my work, as are some of the previous conference keynote speakers.
I hope this contact is welcome.
Thank you for your time and have a great conference.
Best
Mo Stewart

Subject: Disability and Disciplines CFP: Final Reminder
Disability and Disciplines:
The International Conference on Educational, Cultural, and Disability Studies
3-4 July, 2019
Centre for Culture and Disability Studies, Liverpool Hope University
Keynote Speakers:
Prof Tanya Titchkosky, University of Toronto, Canada Dr Laurence Clark, Independent, UK Prof Stephen Kuusisto, Syracuse University, USA
Interdisciplinarity is increasingly recognised as pivotal in the academy, as reflected in the work of the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies (CCDS), whose major collaborations include the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies, the book series Literary Disability Studies, and the multi-volume project A Cultural History of Disability. Although far from straightforward in practice, the premise of the CCDS is that interdisciplinarity leads to curricular reform that itself leads to changes in social attitudes. Growing appreciation of disability studies across the fields and disciplines ultimately contributes to the erosion of ableism and disablism in culture and society, from which there grows both space and opportunity for non-normative achievements and aspirations.
The organisers of the 5th biennial CCDS conference welcome proposals from academics, students, and other interested parties for papers that explore the benefits of interdisciplinarity between Disability Studies and subjects such as Aesthetics, Art, Business Studies, Creative Writing, Cultural Studies, Education Studies, Film Studies, Genre Studies, History, Holocaust Studies, International Studies, Literary Studies, Literacy Studies, Management Studies, Media Studies, Medical Humanities, Museum Studies, Philosophy, Professional Studies, Special Educational Needs, Technology, and Women’s Studies. This list is meant to be suggestive rather than exhaustive.
Paper proposals of 150-200 words should be sent to [log in to unmask] on or before 1 February, 2019.
Paper presentations are allocated 20 minute slots and themed panels of 3 papers are encouraged.
The organisers are indebted to previous keynote speakers Julie Allan, Len Barton, Peter Beresford, Fiona Kumari Campbell, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Dan Goodley, Robert McRuer, David T. Mitchell, Stuart Murray, Katherine Runswick-Cole, and Sharon L. Snyder, whose presentations have led this project and in some cases are now freely available on the CCDS YouTube channel.
