<span style="font-size:11.0pt">You may remember that OSU has served as a co-host of the
<b>international Society for Disability Studies conference</b> since 2018—and that the Office of the ADA Coordinator also hosts the
<b>Multiple Perspectives conference</b> every year. These concurrent conferences are coming right up!—April 8-11.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">I hope you will register for one or both conferences, and check out the extraordinary range of offerings. The SDS conference is free to anyone who requests it, and Multiple Perspectives is free to members of the OSU community.
As someone who has been in various administrative roles for SDS over many years, and has worked very hard to keep the conference in existence for the last few years, I want to add that the current Board of Directors is doing amazing work and this year’s conference
looks SO GOOD!</span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">We discuss how pandemic related precarities played out in different realms of the Indian context. In the absence of governmental infrastructure, not-for-profit organizations and disability
networks collaborated to offer survival support to disabled people in rural areas. Social solidarities and collective building efforts emerged. Similarly, other forms of kinship and familial care evolved and disrupted normative care relations. Disabled people's
capacity to render care and assume agency became noticeable. With the pandemic's proliferation of digitization and faith in its access potential. Reflecting on digital inclusion and exclusion the panel discusses the varied nature of inaccessibility experienced
by disabled people living at the margins of society and technology. We also acknowledge that digital access in a learning environment produces disembodied relationalities given its special affinity for productivity and its cognitive orientation.

experiences, strategies, and commiserations around research ethics reviews involving disabled people as participants and researchers. Questions to be posed include: 1) How are disabled people classified as a vulnerable population by ethics boards at different
universities? 2) What strategies do researchers use to negotiate ableist concepts of “consent” and “capacity?” 3) What are our obligations as scholars to our participants when negotiating ableist institutional structures? The facilitators will share their
experiences and open to audience discussion about what it means to do ethical research in the context of disability. We encourage attendees to reflect on disability as a lived experience, a research orientation, and as grounds for ethics. Come listen, share
your own experiences, and dream about/collaborate on alternative research relations.
