Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion, and Disability
Annual Conference

"Storytelling enables the individuals in an organization to see themselves and the organization in a different light, and accordingly take decisions and change their behavior in accordance with these new perceptions, insights and identities." Steven Denning"

SAVE THE DATE! -- April 17-18, 2006

The organizing theme for the sixth annual conference will be "Personal Perspectives & Social Impact: The Stories We Tell." The goal is to encourage presenters and participants to reflect on how personal experiences create and transform social, cultural, and legal realities. A look into what the psychologist Theodore Sarbin referred to as "the storied nature of human conduct."

  • Case studies tht explore best practices in business, employment or education.
  • How narrative and testimony are reflected in significant court cases and legislation.
  • Telling your story effectively as an advocate, when filing a complaint or in legal testimony.
  • The use of memoir in teaching self advocacy.

"Identity is formed by social proceses. Once crystalized, it is maintained, modified, or even reshaped by social relations . . . Conversely, the identities produced by the interplay of individual consciousness and social structure react upon the given social structure, maintaining it, modifying it, or even reshaping it" (Berger and Luckman, 1963).
