Disability Studies in Education 2011 Conference

Rethinking Accessibility
for the Next Decade of DSE

     The National College of Education at National-Louis University, will host the 11th Annual Second City Disability Studies in Education Conference,  at their Chicago campus, 122 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago IL 60602, May 12-15, 2011. For 11 years, this annual event has attracted researchers, professors, teachers, and other individuals who actively seek to change traditional theory and practice around disability within the fields of education and rehabilitation services. This year's theme, Rethinking Accessibility for the Next Decade of DSE, will provide a framework for moving forward in pursuit of accessible and equitable learning opportunities for all. The DSE's legacy in honoring promising and significant research, as well as innovative practice within Disability Studies in Education continues with the inclusion of several highlighted conference features: The Senior Scholar Award, The Junior Scholar Award, invited keynote speakers, and other special events. The conference continues its custom of bringing together scholars, researchers, teachers, and agents of social change, all united through their interest in theorizing, politicizing, and reconceptualizing disability within the field of education. 

Call for proposals are now being accepted through December 15, 2010. See link below for specific details.
