The 2025 ALTER Conference theme of ‘Transformations’ is an invitation to analyse dynamics of change in disability rights and disability research. The underpinning question is whether changes in the various social, cultural, economic and political systems shaping the lives of persons with disabilities have reduced inequalities or lead to more pessimistic conclusions about increasing exclusion and precarity, including in the research arena.
We warmly welcome you to the beautiful mountain city of Innsbruck. Please consult the Call for Papers for details of the conference theme and how to participate. Submission are due by Friday 31 January 2025.
Closed captioning, audio loop, Sign Language interpretation and potentially other support with communication can be provided on request – please provide details in the comment box when submitting your abstract.
