Disability Studies Conference Call for Submissions
Submit abstract for third annual Disability Studies Conference highlighting disability scholarship, art & activism at University of Arizona.
The Disabled Staff and Faculty Coalition, as part of Campus Community Connections, is hosting its third annual Disability Studies Conference titled 'Highlighting Disability Scholarship, Art & Activism' at the University of Arizona this spring. This hybrid conference will take place April 15-17, 2026, and welcomes submissions from university and community scholars, artists, and activists.
The conference will feature a diverse program including research presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and art and research posters. This is an excellent opportunity for artists, scholars, and activists working in disability studies to showcase their work and connect with others in the field.
If you are interested in presenting your own work, you are invited to submit an abstract by February 9, 2026. The conference accommodates various presentation formats, including traditional research presentations, panel participation, poster presentations, and artistic exhibitions.
Participants can present work spanning disability scholarship, creative art projects, activism initiatives, or interdisciplinary approaches combining these areas. The hybrid format allows both in-person and remote participation, making it accessible to presenters and attendees across different locations.
This is an inclusive event designed to amplify diverse voices and perspectives within disability studies. Whether you are an emerging scholar, established artist, activist, or student, your contributions are valued and encouraged.
