Upcoming conferences that may be of interest
1. Neurodiversity: Critical Juncture
CRITICAL JUNCTURE
Friday, March 22nd– Saturday, March 23rd, 2013
Emory University,
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
What are the different ways that the humanities and social sciences, scientific research, and community organizations are beginning to explore how multiple social identities–such as race, disability, gender, sexuality, and social class–shape human bodies and human experience? How can a focus on the intersections of social identity help us understand and influence the social, political, and economic structures in which we live?
CRITICAL JUNCTURE is a conference that seeks to foster discourse on identity, difference and inequality from a variety of cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. This conference invites engaged participation of researchers, scholars, community artists, and organizers whose work focuses on the impact of the relationship between social identities and the contexts within which they form.
