In turn\, the increasing scholarly focus on earlier periods has pressin g implications for our constructions of disability in the present. This co nference aims to foster two overlapping and mutually illuminating conversa tions: one about the role that theory plays in how we represent and interp ret archival sources\, and another about how the archive invites us to cri tique the historical assumptions and (occasional) limitations of theoretic al inquiry. Among the many questions this conference will raise\, we antic ipate that our participants will ask: How do we define “archive\,” and how is archival knowledge organized? What theoretical approaches will all ow us to move forward in our uncovering of disabled pasts? How does the hi storical distance embodied by the archive inspire us to further diversify and complicate our theoretical models and strategies? How can sustained sc holarly attention to archives of disability open up new possibilities for conversation between the fields of disability studies and medical humaniti es\, whose relationship was aptly termed that of “frenemies” at an MLA panel some years ago? In short\, how does our simultaneous embrace of the archive and theory promise to open up new horizons both for the study of early modern disability and for disability studies?\n\nSpeakers\nSari Alt schuler\, Northeastern University\nCornelia H.
