The internet is an unwelcoming place to the disabled — Quartz<https://qz.com/1407450/theres-already-a-blueprint-for-a-more-accessible-internet/>

Despite the internet's potential to improve the lives of people with disabilities, going online is a stressful prospect for many. It doesn't have to be.

The Nineteenth Annual
Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion & Disability:<http://ada.osu.edu/conferences.htm>
The Journey from Noblesse Oblige to Social Justice
On The Ohio State University?s Columbus Campus

April 8 & 9, 2019

Society For Disability Studies Preconference including an SDS Dance/DISCO Ball
April 7, 2019


Multiple Perspectives is an ongoing exploration of disability in context.  A conversation including many voices reflecting perspectives gained through lived experience and research; theory and practice, art and science.  This year?s theme, Continuing the Journey from Noblesse Oblige to Social Justice, marks the 40th anniversary of Southeastern Community College v. Davis<https://www.oyez.org/cases/1978/78-711>.  Argued on April 23, 1979<https://www.oyez.org/cases/1978/78-711> before the U.S. Supreme Court this was a case of first impression that set the pattern for understanding disability rights under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and helped shape the American?s With Disabilities Act. In Davis, the Supreme Court recognized that the future would chart that journey in unpredictable ways:

?We do not suggest that the line between a lawful refusal to extend affirmative action and illegal discrimination against handicapped persons always will be clear. It is possible to envision situations where an insistence on continuing past requirements and practices might arbitrarily deprive genuinely qualified handicapped persons of the opportunity to participate in a covered program. ? Thus, situations may arise where a refusal to modify an existing program might become unreasonable and discriminatory.?
Page 442 U. S. 412 "Southeastern Community College v. Davis." Oyez, 28 Oct. 2018, www.oyez.org/cases/1978/78-711<http://www.oyez.org/cases/1978/78-711<http://www.oyez.org/cases/1978/78-711<http://www.oyez.org/cases/1978/78-711>>

Contribute to our wide-ranging discussion of where that journey has and will take us as we map out the intersections of disability with employment, technology, education, recreation, social and political life.
 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-wMFuAUW3Q) T
Preference will be given to proposals that encourage discussions across the typical social, political, and disciplinary boundaries; connect individuals to local, national or international communities; or consider parallels, distinctions and intersections with race, gender and ethnicity.

Past programs and conference updates as they become available can be found at:  http://ada.osu.edu/conferences.htm.

To be on the mailing list for the conference, send e-mail to ADA-OSU at osu.edu<mailto:ADA-OSU at osu.edu>

The Multiple Perspectives Conference is hosted by Ohio State University?s ADA Coordinator?s Office is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Ethel Louise Armstrong  Endowment Fund and ongoing support from The Ohio State University.
