Subject: Aloha!Call for Proposals Open for the Pacific Rim InternationalConference on Disability and Diversity in Honolulu! 21st Century Research -one of 18 topic areas!
| | Registration and Call for Proposals are now open! We are Proud to Announce New Topic Areas to our Conference The Center on Disability Studies at the University of Hawai'i cordially invites you to submit a proposal to the 28th Annual Pacific Rim International Conference on Disability and Diversity on March 26th & 27th in Honolulu, Hawai'i. In the tradition of Pac Rim, the 2012 conference will revisit familiar themes and explore new directions through scholarship, best practice, and international networking. Join us, and continue this extraordinary journey. We will have several pre and post conference forums and institutes and much, much more. The 2012 Pacific Rim International Conference program design has been reorganized into three broad, thematic, areas: Foundation, the topical areas the Center for Disability Studies has been or is currently engaged in; Exploration, probing topics that CDS has not previously addressed but have impact on the security and well-being of all people with disabilities; and Innovation which seeks to showcase new theories, concepts, solutions, ideas and applications that can benefit people with disabilities during this economic downturn. Foundation topic areas are: Accessible Worlds, Developmental Disabilities, Disability Studies, Early Intervention, Focus on Youth: Mental Health and Social Change, Focus on Youth: Teen Pregnancy, STI Prevention and Youth Wellness, Hidden Disabilities, Independent Living, Public Health and Disability, Ready to Learn, Ready to Teach, Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), The 21st Century: New Directions in Diversity and Disability Research, and The 21st Century: What is Advocacy? What is it not?
Innovation topic areas are: Diversity, Meeting Basic Needs
Please consider submitting a proposal to what will be an outstanding international conference. To support your attendance Pac Rim 2012 will provide an early acceptance notice within 3-4 weeks of your submission. Conference rates are very reasonable and we have chosen the Hilton Hawaiian Village to be our main conference hotel. We will be providing transportation to and from the hotels to the conference site. We will also help facilitate room-shares if you are trying to keep your costs low. We all need to be together! If you are only able to attend one conference this year, choose PacRim 2012 in Waikiki, Hawai'i at the beautiful Hawaii Convention Center. Traditionally this conference is one of the most exciting for attendees and presenters—providing a unique balance of cultures, and issues of local, national and international importance. This year's conference will seek to better these efforts and provide you with a most unique and exceptional experience—we hope to be seeing you in Honolulu in March, 2012.
