Demands for excellence and efficiency have created an ableist
culture in academia. What impact do these expectations have on
disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent colleagues? This
important and eye-opening collection explores ableism in academia
from the viewpoint of academics' personal and professional
experiences and scholarship. Through the theoretical lenses of
autobiography, autoethnography, embodiment, body work and emotional
labour, contributors from the UK, Canada and the US present
insightful, critical, analytical and rigorous explorations of being
'othered' in academia. Deeply embedded in personal experiences,
this perceptive book provides examples for universities to develop
inclusive practices, accessible working and learning conditions and
a less ableist environment.
This volume contains the papers presented at CP 2009: The 15th
International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint
Programming. It was held from September 20-24, 2009 at the Rectory
of the New University of Lisbon, Portugal. Everyone involved with
the conference thanks our sponsors for their support. There were
128 submissions to the research track, of which 53 were accepted
for a rate of 41.4%. Each submission was reviewed by three
reviewers, with a small number of additional reviews obtained in
exceptional cases. Each review

a committee member thanks to their particular expertise. Papers
submitted as long papers were accepted at full length or not at
all. It is important to note that papers submitted as short papers
were held to the same high standards of qualityas long papers.
There is thus no distinction in these proceedings between long and
short papers, except of course the number of pages they occupy. As
it happens, the acceptancerates of short and long papers
wereverysimilar indeed.

in the application track were not required to be original or novel
research, but to be original and novel as an application of
constraints.
