Annual DSAC Fall UnConference
The Disability Studies and Action Collaborative’s UnConference will be held on Saturday and Sunday, October 22nd and 23rd, 2022. This event is hosted by the WWU ICDS.
All are welcome to apply, though space is limited. We are particularly interested in making this a space where artists, students, scholars, entrepreneurs, and workers can gather to address problems and develop innovative ideas relevant to our local and global communities. We wish to represent the intersectionality of disability experiences and to promote conversations focused on justice and universal access. We welcome especially participants who have disabilities.
Schedule
- Saturday, October 22nd: 10:00 – 5:00 pm
- Interdisciplinary working groups comprised of students, scholars, academic faculty and staff, and community members will work together to discuss a shared concern and work collaboratively on an original project, facilitated by an UnConference moderator.
- Sunday, October 23rd: 10:00 – 5:00 pm
- Taking a more traditional conference presentations format, participants will present and attend round-tables, panels, talks, and topic-based discussions ranging from 5 to 20 minutes.
