  • 23rd Annual Institute on Disabilities
    June 2-6, 2010
    The Society for Disability Studies at Temple University will be holding its 23rd annual conference, from June 2nd - June 6th, on the campus of Temple University. The theme of this year's conference is "Disability in the Geo-Political Imagination". Speakers and participants will explore the disconnect that exists between popular representations of disability throughout the globe and politically-informed disability culture, with an aim to help the public sphere re-imagine contemporary understandings of disability. Topics that will be covered include: disabilities and the media, music and disabilities, transnational communities, and other critical issues salient on the local and international level.
