Details

We invite submissions of papers or recommendations for panel sessions which would be accessible to an interdisciplinary, public audience.  Questions to consider might include:

  • How can we talk about well-being and chronic illness?
  • How is the sense of 'who I am' unsettled during life-limiting illness?
  • What is the relationship between remorse, loss, guilt, shame, and fear to life-limiting or chronic illness?
  • How can we accommodate new identities, bodily shapes and somatic capacities at this time?  
  • Does chronic illness fit with any current disability model?
  • Is chronic illness a relational or social condition? 

There is no fee for this event. For more information or for informal inquiries please contact: [email protected].
