ADA: Celebrate Our Progress And Write Our Future History, PAPER PROPOSALS, due Jan 5, 2015; STUDENT POSTER COMPETITION, due Mar 11, 2015
The 15th annual conference: Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion & Disability
April 13 - 14, 2015, The Ohio State University's Columbus Campus
This year's conference will celebrate the progress we have made and the journey still ahead for the Americans with Disabilities Act. What have we learned? Where are we going? What are the important questions for the next 25 years?
Multiple Perspectives is an ongoing exploration of disability as a reflection of the human condition seen through multiple lenses (theory, discipline, social constructs, personal experience, shared 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 ...) Proposers are encouraged to consider parallels, distinctions and intersections with race, gender and ethnicity.
Past programs and conference updates as they become available can be found at: http://ada.osu.edu/conferences.htm.
To be on the mailing list for the conference, send e-mail to ADA-OSU@osu.edu<mailto:ADA-OSU@osu.edu>
The Multiple Perspectives Conference is hosted by Ohio State University's ADA Coordinator's Office is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation Endowment Fund and ongoing support from The Ohio State University's Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Center for Disability Empowerment.
