Conversations about Gender and Disability
Online and in person event for International Womens Day, Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health, University of Manchester, 27 March 2024, 1-2pm
Artist Jo Longhurst introduces her ongoing body of work Crip as a starting point for staff responses and discussion designed to foster dialogue and action concerning disability and gender inclusion. This session will bring together university staff and postgraduate students to create a platform that amplifies voices and lived experiences shaped by gender and disability. Significantly, the forum will identify the priorities and experiences of disabled staff members, setting the stage for action and awareness in preparation for the School of Medical Science’s next Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion initiative in 2025, which will focus on disability.
