Dear NYABS,<br>
<br>
Disability Studies departments acknowledge that disability can be
studied in relation with all other areas of study. Has anyone here
had the opportunity to attend a Society for Disability Studies
conference?<br>
<br>
Below is a request for papers on the subject of your disability
experience. Figured some might be interested. <br>
<br>

Call for Student Papers: New Voices: Students Sharing Their
Experiences with Disabilities<br>
<br>
Edited by Leila Monaghan and Alison Quaggin Introduction by
Michelle Jarman<br>
<br>
One of the most important aspects of teaching Disability
Studies is how we empower our students with disabilities or
those with close connections to people with disabilities to
speak about their experiences in thoughtful and reflective
ways. This is a call for short chapters from students
(traditional and non-traditional) writing about their own
experiences with disabilities including how their views have
been changed by Disability Studies scholarship. We are
looking for a diverse range of papers reflecting all kinds
of disabilities from urban, suburban and rural perspectives.
Topics will include (but are not limited to) living with
physical, sensory and mental disabilities; disabilities and
the family; and disabilities at school and in workplace
including the impact of disabilities on military members and
their families; and the impact of technology on the lives of
people with disabilities. Papers should be written in a
clear, accessible and personal style. The book is intended
to for use in introductory Disability Studies classes to
fill the gap between single individual memoirs and formal
textbooks. If you are a student interested in participating
or have a student paper you wish to suggest for submission,
please drop a note to Leila at
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:Leila.Monaghan@gmail.com">Leila.Monaghan@gmail.com</a>
as soon as possible. Papers should be 5-15 pages. Papers are
due May 15, 2012 at
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:Leila.Monaghan@gmail.com">Leila.Monaghan@gmail.com</a>
but we are happy to comment on draft versions or abstracts
of papers. We will notify participants of official
acceptance some time in June.<br>
