The Symposium of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies offers an opportunity for established and emerging scholars to explore and exchange new ideas about literary and cultural representations and theories of disability. It is hosted by the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies (CCDS) at Liverpool Hope University. The CCDS is the institutional base for the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies (Liverpool University Press), which is about to publish its 40th issue.
Proposals are invited for 10-15 minute presentations on any aspect of disability, culture, and representation. A focus of this symposium is genre, engagement with which is therefore particularly encouraged. The event will conclude with the launch of Dr Ria Cheyne’s new monograph, Disability, Literature, Genre: Representation and Affect in Contemporary Fiction (Liverpool University Press).
Proposals of 150-200 words should be sent to ccds@hope.ac.uk on or before 1 March, 2020. Note that late submissions cannot be accepted.
