Call For Presentations: Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion, and Disability

Proposals are due: October 31, 2006.

The organizing theme: "Rights, Responsibilities & Social Change"

Continuing the tradition of the past six years, the Seventh Annual Multiple Perspectives conference will bring together a diverse audience to explore disability as both an individual experience and social reality that cuts across typical divisions of education & employment; scholarship & service; business & government; race, gender & ethnicity. The theme is meant to encourage presenters and participants to consider topics, methods and programs from a fresh perspective.

Conference information and updates will be posted to:
http://ada.osu.edu/conferences.htm to be on the mailing list for the conference send an e-mail to ADA-OSU@osu.edu.

"As social movements mature, they begin to look beyond the 'letter of the law', which emphasizes ethics and values, and promulgate systemic changes in attitudes, behaviors and institutional structures." - Leslie Kanes Weisman
