We will address the issue of disability representation in policy and research. There will also be presentations of research on disability in various topics.

The event will take place on October 12, 2023 at the Universidad Austral de Chile, Campus Isla Teja, Valdivia, Chile, in face-to-face mode.

Disability representation is a vital tool for introducing, addressing and challenging ideas about disability. We recognize that, despite its potential to inform and change perceptions, representation can also reinforce inequalities and perpetuate existing stereotypes. For this reason, an in-depth scholarly analysis of how people with disabilities and disability as a phenomenon are and can be represented is crucial.

We will seek to generate a rigorous and diverse academic dialogue about disability in general and the issue of disability representation in policy and academic research. In addition, we seek to generate a meeting space for people who do research on disability.

The seminar will have two parts: during the morning, it will be an open space where research on disability from different disciplines will be presented. During the afternoon, the particular topic of disability representation will be addressed through two discussion tables, one on political representation and the other on representation in research.

The seminar will be held at the Universidad Austral de Chile, Campus Isla Teja, Valdivia, Chile, on October 12, 2023 from 9:00 to 18:00 hrs. The Seminar will be interpreted in Chilean Sign Language (LSCh) and for attendance, prior registration is required at this link.
