The CRDS Student Association Presents The First Annual Disability and Research Conference
The CRDSSA is hosting our first annual Disability Research Conference!!
The conference will center on research that considers the ways in which social, cultural, and political forces impact the disabled experience, as well as integrative and empowering programs being implemented in communities or developed in research labs. The goal of this conference is for it to be an accessible intro into conferences for students who want to share academic, classroom, or community-based research!
The conference will be held on March 25th, 2023 on the 7th floor of MacKimmie Tower. The day will include three keynote presentations from Dr. Alan Martino, Dr. Gregor Wolbring, and Dr. Katrina Milaney, a community panel on translating knowledge to practice, networking sessions for all attendees, and two meals. Thanks to generous donations from the Sinneave Family Foundation and Community Health Sciences department, this conference will be free of charge to all attendees!
We encourage both undergraduate and graduate students to apply for either an oral or poster presentation.
