Event announcement:
CFP: Disability Studies Meets Sociology in Research, Teaching and Activism
Session organized by the Disability Division,
Society for the Studies of Social Problems (SSSP),
July 31- August 2, 2008,
Boston, MA
(more on the conference and SSSP at http://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/m/293).
This is an open session that invites scholars from sociology and disability studies to engage in meaningful dialogue about the connections, affinities and possible tensions between sociological thinking, teaching and activism and the understanding informed by disability studies work and activism.
This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with the intersection of social science based research and practice from a critical disability angle, and vice versa; a connection that is currently invisible in contemporary works in both fields.
If you have done work that scholarly engages with these themes, please consider presenting it at SSSP. For submission guidelines and extended call for papers go to http://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/m/293. All papers or extended abstracts have to be submitted electronically by January 31, 2008 at http://www.sssp1.org/index.cfm/pageId/591.
