Deadline– 31 January 2014
Proposals are accepted for Pacific Rim International Conference on Disability and Diversity which will be conducted in Honolulu, HI: Hawai‘i Convention Center from May 19 & 20, 2014. The goal of this program is to consider one of the most ‘diverse gatherings’ in the world, and encourages and respects voices from “diverse” perspectives including: people with disabilities; family members and supporters, educators, policy makers and more.
Submissions will be considered for poster presentations, interactive roundtables, 30-minute topical presentations, 60-minute breakout presentations, 90-minute seminar/colloquium, and 120-minute interactive workshops. Space is limited so each submission will be evaluated for content and relevance by a review committee.
