Disability & Disability Studies: Works in Progress: Society for Disability Studies 20th Annual Conference
May 31-June 2, 2007; Seattle WA
2007 marks the 25th year of the Society
for Disability Studies, and the field has changed dramatically over the last
quarter century. As Disability Studies continues to grow, SDS wants to take this
anniversary opportunity to reevaluate the discipline and reflect on the state of
the field. Current Disability Studies scholarship differs from much of that
which precedes it, most notably in its efforts to be more inclusive, offering a
more complex conception of what constitutes "disability." Rather than remaining
rooted in a particular cultural moment or ideological understanding, Disability
Studies is a work in progress.
