Session 6 – Disability in History and Archaeology

Session organisers: Hannah Vogel (Macquarie University) and Sarah Massingham (Macquarie University)

Session description: Disability is a constant phenomenon throughout human history. However, diversity within the experience of disability has been largely understudied and undertheorised in the disciplines of history and archaeology. Additional to a lack of critical study on disability in the ancient past, the experience of disability and ableism for scholars researching the ancient world is underrepresented in academic discourse.
As such, this panel explores the complex concepts and experiences of disability, ableism, chronic pain, health and wellbeing, bodily differences and accessibility in history and archaeology broadly defined. The scope of this panel includes historical and archaeological evidence of disability and related themes in the ancient world, focusing on the Mediterranean region, as well as experiences of disabled scholars/scholars with a disability in the study of history and archaeology in Australasia.
This rather unconventional panel will include several traditional paper presentations with time for questions, as well as a roundtable discussion between the panelists, before opening to a Q&A session. Breaks, closed captions, transcripts and accessible slides will be worked into the panel in an attempt to demonstrate accessibility best-practice. We hope to set a standard for accessibility and develop an open forum in which disability in history and archaeology (both in the ancient world and today in these disciplines) can be discussed in a constructive manner that incites collaborative future research.

Proposals for papers should be sent to mediterraneanarchaeology@gmail.com and must include the following information:

• Title of the Paper
• Name, affiliation and email of the proposer(s)
• Title of the session in which you would like to offer a paper (one of the advertised themed sessions or the open session)
• A short abstract of your proposed paper (of not more than 200 words)

Papers will be 20 minutes with 10 minutes question time.
