Access, Inclusion,
and Disability
Annual Conference
12th Annual MP Conference:
Experience
Understood in Image, Poetry, Narrative, and Research
April 24 - 25, 2012

The theme for the Twelfth Annual Multiple Perspectives Conference, “Experience Understood in Image, Poetry, Narrative and Research,” reaches across disciplines, professions and modes of knowing for a fuller understanding of disability. The theme facilitates our twelve year exploration of disability as a reflection of the human condition as seen through the lenses of environmental, theoretical and social constructs as well as personal experience.
