Our focus, Making disAbility, is about questioning inclusion, participation and human rights through the various ways that disability is made, created, or produced. We take the position that this making of disability is highly complex, involving bodily, bureaucratic, performative and more generally material processes and as such, we explore making in a variety of different ways. We invite participants who have completed at least one year of their PhD program and are in the process of researching issues in disability through policy, linguistics, the built environment, education, peoples, cultures and more.
