SDS at OSU 2020 Theme: "Troubling Binaries of Activism and Academics"

The SDS Call for Papers will be out shortly.

Disability Studies arose from collective action that includes political activism and academic research and teaching. By reexamining the current perception of an academic/activist divide, Disability Studies can explore how fractures are created in coalitions and reframe them as growth plates. Disability activism and academia are interdependent and dynamic. The descriptors activism and scholarship are both ways of thinking and moving towards actions that manifest in a diverse array of webbed implications. Our 2020 conference theme asks participants to reexamine the construct and intentions of activism and scholarship, to trouble reductive and divisive binaries, and to identify collective ways of drawing nearer to an inclusive, equitable, accessible, and social-spatial justice for all, in particular for multiply-marginalized communities.

How are activism and study defined within academic and community spaces? What are the specific contexts in which people engage in "activist" and "academic" roles, including as artists, community organizers, scholar-activists, and activist-scholars? How can we generate understanding and sustainable growth out of the tensions engendered by the oversimplified construct of binaries? Who profits from this divisiveness, especially in today's political climate? How can we collectively build a framework of interdependence within activism and scholarship?

SDS welcomes proposals in all areas of disability studies, but especially those submissions premised on our theme. If submitting a panel of papers, note that preference will be given to proposals that encourage discussions across the social, cultural, historical, spatial, and disciplinary boundaries, and that connect local, national, international, or transnational communities.
