Online Symposia
Between 2023 and 2029, we are running a number of short and accessible Online Symposia. We are inviting people to write a short provocative piece (no more than 1000 words) that they will then present online for ten minutes. All symposia will be recorded and written papers will be published in advance.
For upcoming online symposia, please see our Events page.
You can find video recordings and papers from past symposia at the Disability Matters Scholarship Collection.
The format of the symposium will be:
鈼 Introduction
鈼 Spoken provocations
鈼 Q&A
鈼 Plenary and discussion
Duration: 1hr 15m
For access reasons, we are committed to sticking to time.
Time zones
We are a pan-national programme and welcome attendees from all over the world.

How we understand being 鈥榟uman鈥 differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
