Coming up this week, a conference at George Washington University's Marvin Center called Accessing Alliances: Disability Studies Across the Curriculum, sponsored in part by AHEAD (Association on Higher Education and Disability; conference poster at right). Thursday evening is a mini-film festival of shorts, presented by Sharon Snyder and David Mitchell; the Friday morning keynote is by Rosemarie Garland Thomson. Concurrent sessions cover "Disability Studies and History," "Disability Studies and Education," "Building a Disability Studies Major/Minor," "Disability Studies and Deaf Studies," "Disability Studies and Ethnic Studies," "Disability Studies and Global Studies." Seems like a great one-stop opportunity for East Coasters to check out where disability studies is right now, and where it might be heading soon. (Especially since SDS is on the West Coast this year. Yeah!)
