For our 31st edition, Pac Rim is merging and partnering with another
conference, so there is sure to be plenty of surprises!
The Pacific Rim International Conference, considered one of the most
‘diverse gatherings’ in the world, encourages and respects voices
from “diverse” perspective across numerous areas, including:
voices from persons representing all disability areas; experiences of
family members and supporters across all disability and diversity
areas; responsiveness to diverse cultural and language differences;
evidence of researchers and academics studying diversity and
disability; stories of persons providing powerful lessons; examples of
program providers, and; action plans to meet human and social needs in
a globalized world.
In 2015, new topic areas will promote thoughtful discussion and
suggest new ways to integrate education, technology, advocacy,
activism and interdisciplinary research. We all strive to strengthen
communities and enhance the lives of all human beings. Together, we
can harness the tremendous synergy generated by the intermingling and
cross-fertilization of diverse perspectives, and ‘spread the word’
as we continue our professional and personal life journey.
