Histories, Practices and Policies of Disability: International, Comparative and Transdisciplinary Perspectives

Cologne, Germany, 5 – 6 September 2019

Researchers are invited to submit abstracts for the 8th Annual ALTER Conference before 20 January 2019. It is possible to submit individual abstracts or suggest organising a session of three presentations focusing on the same theme. We particularly encourage comparative, interdisciplinary and international sessions. Researchers wishing to suggest a session are invited to submit both an individual abstract of their paper and an abstract describing the joint session and its participants.

This call for articles is for all doctoral students or young researchers who have completed their PhD within less than five years of the date of submission of their articles.

Proposed articles, written by a single author, will be examined by a jury composed of members of the editorial board of the journal and of Alter Association’s board of directors. 

The prizewinner’s article will be published in the journal. The laureate will be invited to present his work at the 8th Alter’s European Conference (5th-6th of September 2019, in Cologne, Germany) as keynote speaker.

The FRA Management Board, during its meeting in May 2018, appointed five women and six men from 100 applicants to form the Agency’s new Scientific Committee.
