We invite you hereby kindly to join our Disability Studies in Nederland Research and PhD meetings 2019. 

We organize these meetings at the VU Amsterdam to give (PhD)-researchers connected to DSiN the opportunity to exchange and learn. Students, researchers (of the future) can meet and discuss on their plans and interests in research in the Disability Studies field. 

Program

11.00 hrs - Introduction by Prof. Dr. Geert Van Hove.

11.15 hrs - Lecture by Adi Hollander (independent artist, Ms in Art, Culture & Society, MIT 2016) and Eva Fotiadi (PhD, lecturer in design theory, AKV St Joost).

In a short presentation Adi and Eva will talk about The OtherAbilities. The OtherAbilities is conceived as a three-day festival and a workshop. It brings together art and science professionals who create objects and situations that enable people to share experiences and activities whether or not they share the same physical abilities. We hope to signal the possibility for a paradigm shift from disability to otherability. By merging art and technology we are exploring the possibility of creating cultural events and artifacts that are not specifically meant for disabled or non-disabled audiences, but from which no body is excluded.

Sofie Sergeant will try to make a link from the introduction of Geert Van Hove and the lecture of Eva Fotiadi and Adi Hollander towards our own field of Disability Studies related research. This way we learn to know each other better and we can connect the input of Geert, Eva and Adi to our work. 

After the introduction and presentation we make time for questions and discussion. 

13.00 hrs - finish

There will be lunch available. 

If you didn't let us know whether you'll be present or not, please let us know a.s.a.p. due to lunch reservations.
