Tenth Annual Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion & Disability: Future History

April 27 and 28, 2010
The Ohio State University Columbus Campus

The Tenth Annual Multiple Perspectives conference continues a decade of community exploration of disability as an individual experience and social reality that cuts across typical divisions of education & employment; scholarship & service; business & government; race, gender & ethnicity.

Multiple Perspectives is celebrating its tenth anniversary and the
second decade of the ADA is coming to a close refreshed by amendments.
Such milestones are an opportunity to consider where we are, how we got
here and where we are going; an opportunity to step back from the
immediate demands of access and reflect on how access, Inclusion and
disability fit with our goals of social justice, diversity and
excellence.

"Future History" was chosen as this year's theme to encourage this
reflection by celebrating the themes of past conferences. Presenters
are asked to use one of the ten past conference themes to frame their
proposals:

2001 - The Next Ten years
2002 - Disability in Context
2003 - Access by Design
2004 - Education, Citizenship, & Disability
2005 - Reflecting On Sameness & Difference
2006 - Personal Perspectives & Social Impact: The Stories We Tell".
2007 - Rights, Responsibilities, and Social Change
2008 - Looking Back & Thinking Ahead
2009 - Change, Challenge, & Collaboration
2010 - Future History
