NNDR, Nordic Network on Disability Research, is pleased to announce a call for papers for its 11th Research Conference
NNDR (www.nndr.no) is a multidisciplinary network of
researchers. The NNDR conferences bring together researchers, policy makers, activists and practitioners to share scholarship and ideas, and provides a forum for Nordic and international collaboration in disability studies.
We invite submissions of abstracts for symposium, paper or poster presentations and welcome a wide range of contributions applying social, cultural, historical and philosophical perspectives to the study of disability. In particular we welcome papers focusing on the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities and how the Convention is implemented to promote and protect the human rights of disabled people.
The NNDR conferences have been particularly welcoming and supportive of research students and young scholars who are presenting for the first time at an international conference.
Keynote speakers include
Steven J. Taylor, Professor of Disability Studies and Director of the Center on Human Policy, Syracuse University, USA
Anna Lawson, PhD, Senior Lecturer at the School of Law, University of Leeds, UK
Adolf Ratzka, PhD, Co-Director of the Institute on Independent Living, Stockholm, Sweden
