DISORDERLY CONDUCT conference programme

[Shannon Dea]

The coordinating committee for DISORDERLY CONDUCT, an international
interdisciplinary conference co-hosted by UW and WLU, and taking place in
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada July 24-26 2009, is pleased to announce its
programme of speakers.

Online registration with 'early bird' discounts to June 30th is now open at:

Disorderly Conduct examines the ethical and cultural implications of
language in a shifting model of medical and clinical care. International
researchers will explore, from various disciplinary perspectives, a range of
identity categories previously or newly configured as "disorders."
