Since the groundbreaking recognition of disability rights with
the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, disability rights law has expanded
dramatically with new laws and evolving concepts of what disability
means in American society. This symposium will cover a wide variety
of topics of continuing and emerging importance to the disability
community including access to education and health care, technology
and community organization. The day-long event
features five panels of academics, lawyers, activists, and practitioners.
In addition, there will be an art display of works by artists with
disabilities and photographs chronicling the disability movement
curated by Harold Adler. In conjunction with this display,
we will have a luncheon featuring disabled artist, Prof. Katherine
Sherwood. |
