Volet Scientifique > École DoctoraleStaying with disability?8th disABILITY MUNDUS doctoral schoolUniversité Saint-Louis Brussels, July 3-6, 2022[L'école doctorale aura lieu en anglais, ci-après l'appel à manifestation d'intérêt.] This year’s doctoral school “Staying with disability?”, comes from the 10th Annual Conference of ALTER-ESDR’s theme: Rethinking Institutions and de-institutionalisation from a disability perspective, which is linked to disABILITY MUNDUS a group of European academics and universities who are actively engaged in and support scholarly research on disAbility. Our focus, Staying with disability?, is about problematising the complexity of disability, and (re)considering how disability is generative, performative, and system-sensitive. Disability is generative because the questions and practices it generates lead to responses that lead to new questions and practices. With regard to posthuman claims, disability raises questions to what it means to be human, and in particular it raises questions pertaining to the relations between humans and other living being (especially animals) and to technology (especially smart technology and artificial intelligence). Questions we will explore are: What does posthuman notions of disability offer within and outside of institutions? Do we want to stay with disability? How do we want to stay with disability? 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 sociology, philosophy, law, education, nursing, policy, anthropology, linguistics, family studies, design studies, material culture, medicine, technology, and more. Experts from around the world lead the doctoral school through a transdisciplinary approach by questioning issues, practices, and perspectives on disability.

Patrick Devlieger at patrick.devlieger@kuleuven.be by April 15, 2022. The abstract must have the following:
