Editor, MEGAN A. CONWAY, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor at the Center on Disability Studies (CDS) and an Associate Faculty member with the Department of Special Education at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. She serves as a core faculty member for CDS’s Disability and Diversity Certificate Program. Dr. Conway received her doctorate in Special Education from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2001. While at Berkeley, she became increasingly aware of the problems facing individuals with disabilities as they pursue higher education, leading to her interest in improving postsecondary options and supports for individuals with disabilities. She has also developed an interest in the emerging field of disability studies in education, and has published an RDS forum focused on this issue. Dr. Conway also has strong interests in disability studies as it relates to law and public policy, sociology, and technology.

Dr. Conway has published numerous articles, and given national and international presentations focused on postsecondary education access, special education, self-advocacy, technology, and dual sensory loss. She worked for several years in the United Kingdom as a consultant on communication and technology access for people with dual sensory loss, and as a result of her work had the opportunity to meet other people with disabilities in the U.K. and continental Europe. She currently enjoys living and working in Hawaii, and particularly enjoys the beautiful weather and landscape that allow her to pursue her favorite outdoor activities year-round.
