We currently observe a rise in new types and uses of
the classification of people with dis/abilities, especially targeting and marginalizing individuals at the transition stage. Othering and
problem-categorization are characteristics across educational settings and practices. They are taken up in everyday life to handle self and others, in ever-new rounds of medicalization, and generally as self-presentations in daily life, including career opportunities.
This implicates and challenges special education as well as other human sciences.
Join us for a rich and meaningful conversation on individuals with dis/abilities’ rights, transition options, dreams, and hopes about the future.
