5th disABILITY MUNDUS doctoral school: "PERFORMING disABILITY"

This year’s doctoral school, Performing disAbility, is linked to the 6th Annual Conference of ALTER-ESDR’s theme: ‘Disability, Recognition and “Community living”. Diversity of practices and plurality of values’. It is also linked to disABILITY MUNDUS a group of European academics and universities who are actively engaged in and support scholarly research on disAbility.

Our focus, Performing disAbility, is about bodily and societal performance, as can be seen in theatrical, dance and other creative expressions, sports, but also in administrative, and everyday processes of care. We take the position that this performative aspect of disability is highly complex, and perhaps disturbing and challenging. 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.
