Disabled researchers continue to be underrepresented in the academy, even ironically in the field of disability studies. This panel brings together some of the brightest minds – disabled researchers – working on social change, empirically and/or theoretically. This international panel will explore such topics as our personal journeys and opportunities as well as barriers to undertaking research.
Please join us and this international panel where we will ponder –
• Why are disabled researchers invisible in the academy?
• How do university arrangements impact on your capacity to be research productive?
• Is there anything ‘distinctive’ to being a disability researcher?
• What needs to be done to elevate the profile of disabled researchers?
The seminar will be followed by a live Q&A.
