Disability Matters Scholarship Collection
A collection of papers from scholars around the world who are challenging their own disciplines through the application of critical disability studies
Between 2023 and 2029, we are running a number of short and accessible Online Symposia. We are inviting people to write a short provocative piece (no more than 1000 words) that they will then present online for ten minutes. All symposia will be recorded but we are also committed to access: specifically, providing folk with access to written papers, so that they can follow the speakers' presentations.
Below, you will links to the film recordings of these sessions and the written papers of all the presentations.
We have provided the full reference following Harvard Referencing protocols. Please let us know how you are using this work in your own teaching, research and scholarship emailing disabilitymatters@sheffield.ac.uk
