I just wanted to give a shout out to the academic community about the call for papers for the 2008 Canadian Disability Studies Association/Association Canadienne des Études sur l'Incapacité Conference. Note that the deadline for submissions is November 22, 2007.
From my past service as Communications Officer (English), plus attending the CDSA-ACEI conference last year, I know both undergraduate and graduate students are especially encouraged to submit proposals.
Please be advised there is no funding available from CDSA-ACEI for anyone attending the conference. Check with your university regarding funding for conferences, especially if you are accepted as a presenter at the CDSA-ACEI conference.
Individual requests for disability services and accommodations during the CDSA-ACEI conference such as ASL interpreting, CART/Real-time voice-to-text interpreting, alternate formats for printed and visual materials, etc., must be booked well in advance with the Conference Coordinator.

Hope to see you in Vancouver in 2008! Dawna
