Description
The Critical Disability Studies Research Cluster and the Wellcome Anti-Ableist Research Cultures Project are hosting an event, ‘Creatively Cripping the Researcher Concordat’.
This event will encourage participants and attendees to consider what the frameworks are for researcher development and how we might reimagine these through the lens of disability inclusion. We will do this via creative activities and consider what aspirations, statements and commitments we have for the careers of disabled researchers within higher education. All welcome to attend. No catering provided.
This is a hybrid event in The Wave Seminar Room 12 on Wednesday 29th October from 11am-1pm.

How we understand being ‘human’ differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
