Nordic Network on Disability Research 2009

Save the Date!

Some details for next years Nordic Network on Disability Research (NNDR) conference has been slated for April 2nd to 4th 2009 in Nybord, Denmark.  The title of next year’s conference is ‘Challenging Positions in Disability Research – normativity, knowledge and praxis’. A preliminary timetable, programme and list of keynote speakers is available here: http://www.dpu.dk/site.aspx?p=11887 on the website of the School of Education (Danmarks Paedagogiske Universitetsskole) at the University of Aarhus.  There are some interesting speakers cited, including Tom Shakespeare.  If you are a student and hoping to attend or present, it’s worth noting that this conference is usually very reasonably priced, and last year they offered bursaries to student delegates (something I only discovered after the event!) so do contact the organisers in advance with any funding queries.
