THIS YEAR’S TOPIC

What is a disability, anyway?

In an era of ever-growing pharmaceutical enhancement, what counts as intellectually disabled, and why would that matter? How does the way we define disability (and normalcy) impact the just distribution of resources in society — and the way society treats those who happen to fall outside the norm? How are foundational concepts in ethics like dignity or autonomy complicated by reflection on the many ways we are dependent on others in the course of any “normal” human lifespan?

Each year, the Kennedy Institute of Ethics convenes a wide-ranging and personal conversation among expert panelists, preceded and informed by student work on the same topic. We can’t wait to share this year’s conversation, complicating the very notion of “disability.” Join us this February, in-person at Georgetown University, or digitally via live-stream, as our team goes deep on this thought-provoking and deeply important issue.

Did you know? This year’s topic celebrates one of the issues at the heart of the KIE story: disability.

The Institute was founded in 1971 with support from the Rose and Joseph Kennedy Foundation, inspired in large part by the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to advancing the rights of the disabled. This year’s topic celebrates that founding vision of a world where the voices of the powerless are made powerful through thoughtful reflection and theory-driven advocacy, and it dives deep into some of the most complicated and interesting questions in disability ethics today.

AADMD Annual Conference

Orlando, Florida + The Grand Opening toe the Special Olympic Games..

On the cover: Amanda Harrinauth is a Special Olympic Athlete, self-advocate and poet. Amanda will welcome everyone back on Day 2 and will deliver her latest poem.

(Image Description:  Beautiful young woman with brown hair and brown skin with red lipstick, closely cropped, is smiling and looking off to the right of the camera.)

Message from AADMD President, Allen Wong:

“Let me win, But if I cannot win, let me be Brave in the attempt” is the Motto of the Special Olympics Athletes.  If you read it again, it is more than just a motto but a philosophical way of thinking.  It reminds us that we should be hopeful and courageous in our lives.

As President of AADMD, I intend to bring the spirit of the Athletes of Special Olympics in being hopeful and courageous in our organization’s attempt to educate, advocate, collaborate and propagate the attitude of inclusion and improved health care for all people.  Injustice is wrong but not being courageous to help make improvements is worse.  We cannot mend all the wrongs in life but we can certainly do our part individually and collectively.

AADMD was formed to help improve interdisciplinary healthcare, improve access to care, and help end disparity of care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We invite like-minded people and organizations to join us in our cause.
