ABOUT THE SOCIETY
SDS MISSION
The Society for Disability Studies (SDS) is an international nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the cause of promoting the
disability studies as an academic discipline. Disability Studies
recognizes that disability is a key aspect of the human experience,
and that the study of disability has important political, social, and
economic implications for society as a whole, including both
disabled and nondisabled people. Through research, artistic
production, teaching and activism, the Society for Disability Studies
seeks to augment understanding of disability in all cultures and
historical periods, to promote greater awareness of the
experiences of disabled people, and to advocate for social change.
ABOUT SDS
SDS was founded in 1982 by a core of dedicated sociologists,
advocates and experts in the field of disability studies, and was
originally named the Section for the Study of Chronic Illness,
Impairment, and Disability (SSCIID). The organization was
renamed the Society for Disability Studies in 1986. The Society
maintains affiliation status with the Western Social Science
Association (WSSA) through its Chronic Disease and Disability
Section. SDS currently has hundreds of national and international
members who contribute their time, energy and expertise to
making disability studies a large part of academic conversations.
The Society has more than 300 members from around the world,
and is governed by a Board of Directors elected by members of the
Society. Efforts are made to ensure that the composition of the
Society for Disability Studies 2010 Conference
4
Board reflects a diversity of disabilities, academic disciplines,
gender, age, race, ethnicity and education.

ABOUT THE 2010 CONFERENCE
Welcome to the Society for Disability Studies 23rd Annual
Conference at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The theme for this convention is “Disability in the Geo-Political
Imagination.”
The development of global studies has increasingly called for a
cross-cultural and comparative approach to questions of
marginalization, stigma, diaspora and resettlement, labor and
exploitation, climate change, and the world-ranging production of
impairment and disability from violence, inhumane treatment,
crumbling infrastructure, and environmental degradation. A
significant amount of scholarship also examines new resistance
cultures and the galvanization of global networks as members of
diverse disability communities try to navigate productive
collaborations across newly wired cybernetic systems and claim
the possibilities offered by globalization. New opportunities and
new problems abound around forging transnational communities,
increased mobility, health and charity tourism, the implementation
of universal rights, increased transparency of states and
organizations, better community-based rehabilitation, and more
varied work possibilities.
This year’s Society for Disability Studies conference features the
theme “Disability in the Geo-Political Imagination” to spur ongoing
efforts in interdisciplinary analyses. Such a theme arrives at a
timely moment in the wake of the signing of the United Nations
Society for Disability Studies 2010 Conference
10
Charter on the Rights of People with Disabilities by leaders in 140
nations (including, most recently and somewhat belatedly, the
United States). As a result of the emergence and ratification of this
convention, disability has become a more visible topic within the
public sphere. Nations, perhaps including the United States, that
previously undervalued disabled populations now contend with
what it means to be truly inclusive. Disability-advocacy
organizations now seek to make further claims upon the state as a
guarantor of rights and liberties. This SDS conference theme
includes proactive responses and solutions to the critique that
disabled populations—particularly those who are disproportionately
poor and people of color—are ill represented, under-analyzed, and
under-theorized, particularly in the context of global studies. As the
local and global may be seen as intertwined and haunting each
other, so can questions of disability, race, class, and gender.
Disability studies explores the distance that exists between popular
representations of disability as tragic embodiment, and politically
informed disability cultures that define themselves against such
devaluing views. Authors of panel and paper proposals will ideally
feature new ways of conceptualizing people who experience
disability as social actors connected or disconnected on a global
scale. In particular, the SDS Program Committee seeks entries
from those areas of inquiry that resist, revise, and re-imagine
contemporary understandings of human differences and
embodiment such as critical race studies, feminist/womanist
studies, class-based analyses, queer studies, trans-gender studies,
and other critical perspectives linked to social justice initiatives.
Society for Disability Studies 2010 Conference
11
We imagined submissions that attend to local conditions, including
those in our host city of Philadelphia, within a global context and to
cultures of empowerment and resistance within the complexity of
global exploitation and opportunities.
Topic questions might
include:
 What is the relationship between disability studies and other
critical studies of experience—cultural studies, critical race
studies, gender, feminist, and women’s studies, queer
studies, subaltern studies—that critique social norms of
embodiment, capacity, and aesthetic?
 How do we analyze and theorize around international
disability experiences? How do we bridge the disjuncture
between the global and the local?
 What is the role of disability in critical resistance to
privatization, the penetration of neoliberal thinking and
practice, the retrenchment of social/economic benefits, the
ideas/practices of social entrepreneurship, all both nationally
and internationally?
 What are the effects and affects of neo-liberalism on
disability rights, service provision, policy, art, culture, and
politics?
 How do transnational disability movements develop and
what is their relationship to national borders?
 What is the role of disability in the public imagination as
constituted through and within representation in media?
 What infrastructure best supports the production of new
interventions and innovations in the realm of communitybased rehabilitation and other services, new cloistered living
Society for Disability Studies 2010 Conference
12
schemes, and disability programming as a result of the UN
convention?
 What is the relationship between new forms of labor and
disability, informal and formal economies, and how they
intersect with disability?
 What critical analysis is needed from disability perspectives
on the development of new technology?
 What are the impacts of declarations of the suspension of
social liberties in the context of arguments around a “state of
exception” with respect to social justice for disabled
populations?
Interdisciplinary work will bring together presenters in different
fields and using diverse methodologies.
Formats will vary,
including individual papers, organized paper sessions, discussion
panels, poster sessions, artistic and performance events, films,
roundtables and more. Thanks to the artists, activists and scholars
who will share their work in Disability Studies here.

SDS 2010 AWARD RECIPIENTS
SDS awards several prizes each year including the Senior Scholar
Award, Tanis Doe Award and Irving K. Zola Award for Emerging
Scholars in Disability Studies. The Tyler Rigg Award is a new
award chosen by Disability Studies Quarterly (DSQ).
2010 Senior Scholar Award: Dr. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson
SDS’s Senior Scholar Award is granted each year to an
outstanding scholar with more than a decade of experience and a
terminal degree in his/her field who has demonstrated leadership
and made a significant contribution to the field of disability studies.
This year’s winner is Dr. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Professor
of Women’s Studies at Emory University. Her fields of study are
feminist theory, American literature, and disability studies, and her
work develops the field of disability studies in the humanities and
women’s and gender studies. Garland-Thomson’s early works, now
considered classics in the field, transformed scholarship on bodies
and their representations, pioneered feminist disability studies in
literary and cultural theory and analysis, and helped to bring
disability studies to the attention of scholars throughout the
academy. Her recent work continues to deliver bold and
sophisticated analyses of disability and its importance for
understanding interaction and our social world. In conjunction with
her scholarship, Garland-Thomson brings her passion for disability
studies into the classroom through innovative courses such as
“Extreme Bodies: Race, Gender, Disability, and Identity” and
“Disabled Women’s Lifewriting.” Moreover, she dedicates
tremendous energy to cultivating the field of disability studies by
Society for Disability Studies 2010 Conference
14
supporting a variety of professional organizations including the
Society for Disability Studies. Dr. Garland-Thomson’s significant
contributions have fostered the growth, rigor, and recognition of
disability studies and thereby benefited scholars throughout the
field.
2010 Irving K. Zola Award for Emerging Scholars: Dr. Mara
Mills
The Irving K. Zola Award is typically given to an emerging scholar
in disability studies, and recognizes excellence in research and
writing and that shares the values and commitment to disability
studies exemplified by Irving K. Zola’s life and scholarship. The
award carries with it a $350 prize and opportunity to publish in
DSQ. This year’s recipient is Dr. Mara Mills, a Mellon Postdoctoral
Fellow in History and Sociology of Science at the University of
Pennsylvania. Her submission “On Disability and Cybernetics:
Helen Keller, Norbert Wiener and the Hearing Glove” was called
“fascinating” and “thought-provoking” by reviewers.
2010 Tyler Rigg Award: Dr. Rachel E. Hile
Disability Studies Quarterly is pleased to announce Dr. Rachel E.
Hile as the winner of the first annual Tyler Rigg Award for
outstanding scholarship in the field of disability studies and
literature. Generously funded by the Tyler Rigg Foundation, the
purpose of the award is to facilitate, promote and encourage
ongoing scholarly exploration of disability issues, with emphasis on
the examination of representations of disability through the study of
literature. The $500 prize is granted to one outstanding paper
published in DSQ each calendar year. The winning article is titled
Society for Disability Studies 2010 Conference
15
“Disability and the Characterization of Katherine in The Taming of
the Shrew,” and appears in Volume 29, Issue 4 of DSQ. Dr. Hile is
an assistant professor in the Department of English & Linguistics at
Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne.
