Call for Presentations/Papers: Disability Law Symposium – Berkeley, CA

Berkeley Law is hosting a Disability Law Symposium at Boalt Hall, March 22-23, 2012. They are currently seeking presentation proposals. The focus should be on the intersection of disability and other civil rights constructs such as gender, sexuality, class, race, class, ethnicity and religion. Presentations should be grounded in law (rights, discrimination, equity) or and/or public policy. Their goal is to “re-brand” the field of Disability Rights to encourage students to think of this (1)as a subset of the broader civil rights movement and (2) as part of the larger disability-related disciplines at the University.

The BerkeleyLaw Journal of Gender, Law & Justice has agreed to publish suitable symposium papers. Please submit a 2-3 paragraph abstract by email to srosenbaum[at]law.berkeley.edu no later than November 16, 2011 and indicate whether you would like to submit a paper for publication.
