Disability Sport: Why do we ‘dis’ people’s abilities? will be held 27 - 29 June 2016 at Coventry University in the UK.

The conference will focus on the use of disability sport as a tool for peace, development and social inclusion. The conference aims to bring together practitioners and academics working in the field of disability and Paralympic sport from around the world and get them talking to each other and hopefully working together moving forward.
