Today and in fact just a few minutes ago, Revell thoughtfully shares (and we thank you so much Professor Longmore). To join DC-2, where Colin is moderating, email: disabilityconvention-2-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
Here is link to the site for the Institute on Disability: http://bss.sfsu.edu/disability/dateline.html Peruse overall, and click the specifically provided link to see the History time-line (as just viewed here, it is 77 pages, variable across internet browsers).
Very interesting, Colin; viewed from here the span of years is 3500 B.C. through 2001 A.D.. How about spearheading contributions in the bringing up to date of this marvelous resource, and we note that the years 2002 through 2005 happen to cover (among other events and activities) The United Nations based International Disability Convention, toward Treaty (in process 2002-present, and continuing).
Professor Longmore's note is quite welcoming, and we of course would welcome his participation and those of his students, and we stand at their service.
Very best wishes, LDMF.
