The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) invites you to submit your ideas for an opportunity to be one of six speakers at its upcoming virtual symposium, “Irreducible Subjects: Disability and Genomics in the Past, Present and Future” October 6-7, 2022

The virtual symposium will address historical and present-day constructions of disability and ableism, with a focus on the history and lived experiences of people with disabilities in the context of genetics and genomics.

Through an open call for presentations, the event aims to develop a fuller account of the lives and experiences of people with disabilities. Conversations will link disability rights to wider NIH discussions and around inclusivity, intersectionality, equity, and social justice.

Deadline for submissions is June 30, 2022. Email submissions to nhgrihistory@mail.nih.gov.
