July, 2015, was the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act; November, 2015, marked the 20th Anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act in Britain; and December, 2016, will be the 10th anniversary of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities.
Multiple Perspectives is an ongoing exploration of disability, a conversation including many voices and reflecting perspectives gained through experience and research; theory and practice, arts and sciences. Presentations will encourage discussions across the typical social, political, and disciplinary boundaries; connect the individual to local, national and international approaches; and consider parallels, distinctions and intersections with race, gender and ethnicity.
This year’s conference will feature presentations by: Joel Snyder (Author; President, Audio Description Associates, LLC; Director, Audio Description Project, American Council of the Blind), Victor Pineda (member of The Access Board; President of World ENABLED; and Senior Fellow at The Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society), and Melanie Yergeau (Assistant Professor, Department of English, University of Michigan).
