- What do human rights mean to disabled children in the UK? Friday 30th April 2010 Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh 9.30am - 5.10pm Delegate Fee: £150.00 including lunch http://www.crfr.ac.uk/events/disabledchild.html
The UK’s 700,000 disabled children are widely recognised as facing disproportionate discrimination in realising their basic human rights such as the right to life; the right to a family life; the right to play; the right to an effective education and the right to health care. In the words of the UNCRC Committee talking about the UK “children with disabilities continue to face barriers in the enjoyment if their rights..Including the right to access health services, leisure and play”.
This conference will look at the human rights of children living with disability in the UK in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the UK’s reports to the United Nations.
The aim of the conference is to bring together academics, lawyers, health, education and social care specialists, parents, children, voluntary organisations, NGOs, service providers and policy makers to examine:
• Where are we now? • How can we ensure children with disability are fully included in all future reports to the United Nations? • How can we make the Convention and the fulfilment of human rights generally a reality for the UK’s disabled children, so that they can lead full and fulfilling lives free from discrimination?
Themes to be included: • How does the UN Convention work and why is it failing disabled children? • Rights to social care and education • Rights to life and health care • Parents’ experiences • Young people’s experiences • What are the barriers to the fulfilment of disabled children’s rights? • What are the solutions? • What can I personally do to make things better?
Who should attend? Anyone with an interest in disabled children from social work, health, education, academia, parents, voluntary organisations and disabled young people

- ESF-LiU Conference Home, Migration and the City: New Narratives,New Methodologies
6-10 August 2010 Scandic Linköping Vast, Linköping, Sweden
This conference takes‘narratives’ – broadly defined as stories, diaries, myths, photographs, music,films, media images and representations of movement – as the analyticalstarting point for new research on migration. Narratives have severaldimensions. Firstly, migrant narratives need to be understood as inherentlyspatial. As is widely acknowledged, migrants’ stories of movement are oftenstories of different places at different moments, and thus are essentially‘spatial stories’. Secondly, this spatiality of migration narratives ismulti-scalar; it can relate to belonging on a national, political scale,represent locality dynamics, more small-scale, personal experiences ofmigration, or even the material narratives of migration, such as stories ofsignificant objects and material culture. The political element of the largerscale narratives is especially important; it is these that foster the exclusionand inclusion of migrants in societies. Thirdly, the performative element ofmigrants’ narratives is very strong; not all narratives are textual but insteadare enacted through music, theatre, film, food, or dance. Finally, suchnarratives can also be highly visual, corporeal, and embodied, whether throughmedia representations, artwork, or architecture. Such a broad conceptualisationof migrant narratives demands new interdisciplinary theories and methodologiesto understand the interconnected landscapes of home, migration and the city.
