The 7th February was a lovely opportunity to disabled researchers, academics and students to share emerging issues and considerations in the field. A Hybrid Symposium and the 2024 Annual iHuman Critical Disability Studies Lecture were held in Ambedkar University with a fine online and face-to-face turn out. Full papers and recordings of the filmed sessions can be found here: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ihuman/disability-matters/disability-matters-scholarship-collection
