CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS The Tenth Annual Multiple Perspectives conference continues a decade of community exploration of disability as an individual experience and social reality that cuts across typical divisions of education & employment; scholarship & service; business & government; race, gender & ethnicity.
Multiple Perspectives is celebrating its tenth anniversary and the second decade of the ADA is coming to a close refreshed by amendments. Such milestones are an opportunity to consider where we are, how we got here and where we are going; an opportunity to step back from the immediate demands of access and reflect on how access, Inclusion and disability fit with our goals of social justice, diversity and excellence.
Traditionally Multiple Perspectives has offered quotes to assist in framing proposals; “Future History” was chosen as this year’s theme to encourage this reflection by celebrating the themes of past conferences. Below are the previous themes along with four quotes from past years; please use one of these to frame your proposals.
- 2001 - The Next Ten years
- 2002 - Disability in Context
- 2003 - Access by Design
- 2004 - Education, Citizenship, & Disability
- 2005 - Reflecting On Sameness & Difference
- 2006 - Personal Perspectives & Social Impact: The Stories We Tell”.
- 2007 - Rights, Responsibilities, and Social Change
- 2008 - Looking Back & Thinking Ahead
- 2009 - Change, Challenge, & Collaboration
- 2010 - Future History
"It is a lonely existence to be a child with a disability which no-one can see or understand, you exasperate your teachers, you disappoint your parents, and worst of all you know that you are not just stupid." - Susan Hampshire.
"Disability is not a brave struggle or ‘courage in the face of adversity.’ Disability is an art. It’s an ingenious way to live." – Neil Marcus.
"Congress acknowledged that society's accumulated myths and fears about disability and disease are as handicapping as are the physical limitations that flow from actual impairment.” - Justice William J. Brennan.
"As social movements mature, they begin to look beyond the 'letter of the law', which emphasizes ethics and values, and promulgate systemic changes in attitudes, behaviors and institutional structures." - Leslie Kanes Weisman
