Saturday 31st August - Sunday 1st September 2019
Lisbon, Portugal

Telling stories was – and still is – a way of recording and grappling with the origins, causes and prevention of illnesses and disease that surrounded them in everyday life.

Vernon Press invites chapter proposals on Disability and the Academic Job Market. The volume will be edited by Christopher McGunnigle, Seton Hall University.
Securing a position as a full time tenure track professor is difficult enough but even more so for people with a disability.
