Welcome to the webpages of the Social History of Learning Disability research group. We are a group of people at the Open University who are researching the history of learning disability in several different ways: • We run annual conferences Our next conference will be held on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd July 2010. We will be announcing the title and call for paers in January 2010. Our 2009 two-day conference was held on 9th and 10th July and was entitled Families, History and Learning Difficulties. Photographs and recordings from the 2009 conference will be added to the website shortly. • You can look at the programme for the 2009 conference. At our Testimonies of Resistance in Learning Disability History conference we made video recordings of conference speakers. You can watch the video testimonies to find out what our speakers had to say on the topic of resistance.
