Building Anti-Ableism Through Representation in Children’s Material Culture

The first hybrid seminar in a series based at Queen Margaret University, will examine anti-ableism through toys and play.

This seminar series brings together scholars and practitioners from psychology, education, disability studies, children’s material culture and related fields. We aim to foster critical dialogue on how disability representation, and its absence, shapes children’s identities, relationships, and societal attitudes.

This is the first seminar in the series, focusing on disability representation and access through toys and play.

Christina Lee, Research Associate for Knowledge Exchange for Disability Matters, will lead the keynote alongside Rebecca Atkinson, founder of ToyLikeMe. 

This event is hybrid. An on-campus ticket at Queen Margaret University can be found here.
