This year, the Disability Section has decided to conduct the Chair’s Forum as a venue for sharing scholarship and criticism for new ideas in progress about disability and public health. Building on a structure instituted by Dr. Renee Jahiel, presenters will share developing concepts, theories and research and receive critical commentary from audience participants. This forum brings the intellectual power of dialog and exchange to the advancement of progressive scholarship and informed practice in public health. The forum will be held Sunday, Nov. 8 from 1-4:30 p.m., and all members of the Disability Section are encouraged to attend. 

If you have any questions about the Chair’s Forum, please contact Dr. Stephen Gilson at Stephen_gilson@umit.maine.edu  or at (207) 581-1263.
