2010 Workshop Overview: Enabling Inclusion, Defending Difference
0 Comments | Posted by admin in 2010 Workshop Details
Critical Autism Studies: Enabling Inclusion, Defending Difference was held 24-25 September 2010 at the University of Ottawa. The workshop brought together social science and humanities researchers whose collective expertise and interest in critical autism studies will inform the development of new analytical frameworks that understand autism as a complex, relational dis/order that challenges stereotypes of what has long been regarded as “normal” human experience. The participation of a range of innovative national and international scholars involved in new research on autistic subjectivities and cognitive difference, combined with the involvement of autistic researchers and carers, positions this workshop and its corollary print and online materials as pivotal resources in the growing field of critical autism studies.
Abstracts of papers presented at the workshop are available here.
