DESCRIPTION:Le Groupe de recherche en santé et droit vous invite à une conf
 érence-midi avec Jonas-Sébastien Beaudry\, professeur adjoint à la Faculté
  de droit. Il explorera les défis définitionnels soulevés par la catégorie
  des «personnes handicapées» et l’importance de la portée conceptuelle de 
 cette catégorie\, étant donné son potentiel d’influence sur les politiques
  publiques\, la culture et les interactions\, en suggérant les droits\, le
 s devoirs et les attentes sociales que le handicap implique..\n\nLe nombre
  de places est limité: prière de réserver votre place en écrivant à rghl.l
 aw [at] mcgill.ca.\n\nCette activité a été accréditée pour 1\,5h de format
 ion continue obligatoire pour juristes par un dispensateur reconnu.\n\nRés
 umé\n\n[En anglais seulement] The concept of disability is used across a v
 ariety of contexts (e.g. medical\, legal\, artistic) to describe different
  phenomena and prescribe distinct behaviours or norms. The definitional ch
 allenge is not only that the category of “disabled people” is heterogenous
 \, but also that what “disability” should denote\, primarily or exclusivel
 y\, is controversial amongst both theorists and practitioners. This concep
 tual breadth is far from innocuous: disability models have the potential t
 o influence public policies\, culture and interactions\, by suggesting wha
 t rights\, duties and social expectations disability entails. They can bot
 h benefit and harm people categorized as “disabled”. /p>\n\nInstead of exa
 mining those various definitions and arguing in favour of one of them\, th
 is essay considers the unavoidable cultural polysemy of disability and con
 trasts the appeal and limitations of the main theoretical strategies to ma
 nage it. Some disability models deny that competing understandings of disa
 bility are valid\, while others seek to determine procedures through which
  disabilities will be defined and assessed and still others conceptualize 
 disability in a more culturally malleable way.\n\nLe conférencier\n\n[En a
 nglais seulement] Jonas-Sébastien Beaudry is an Assistant Professor of Law
  at 91˿����Ƶ (joint appointment with the Institute for Health and
  Social Policy) and a member of the Quebec Bar. His publications include a
  book on freedom of expression in Latin America and articles in the areas 
 of legal history\, human rights\, ethics and disability law. He collaborat
 es with disability organizations on public policy issues and is an advisor
