Disability Impact: The Annual Conference of Interdisciplinary, Intersectional, and International Disability Studies
Wednesday, 5 July 2023
, TBC
Liverpool Hope University
Interdisciplinarity, intersectionality, and internationality are pivotal concerns in the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies (CCDS), whose sustained work often spans education, the humanities, and the social sciences. 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 academic fields and disciplines ultimately contributes to the erosion of ableism and disablism in culture and society, incremental progress inextricably linked with intersectionality and internationality.
The organisers of the 6th CCDS conference welcome proposals from academics, students, and other interested parties for papers that explore the impact of interdisciplinary, intersectional, and/or international approaches to disability studies. This might mean the impact of disability on aesthetics, art, business studies, childhood and youth, creative writing, cultural studies, education studies, film studies, genre studies, health and social care, history, holocaust studies, international studies, literacy studies, literary studies, management studies, media studies, medical humanities, museum studies, philosophy, SEN, social policy, social work, sociology, 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 disciplines@hope.ac.uk on or before 1 February, 2023.
Paper presentations are allocated 20 minute slots and themed panels of 3 papers are welcomed.
Note that, although many CCDS seminars can be attended online and accessed via the CCDS YouTube channel, this conference is a face-to-face event.
