structure to be as follows:
Vic will present a short introduction section of around 15 minutes;
Then, we have arranged for Vic to respond to specific questions – or
‘disability politics history’ issues;
Followed by an open question and answer section for the remainder of the
session.
We are writing to solicit some questions, from you, prior to this session.
Vic will select a number to which he will respond. If you are interested in
participating please would you do the following:
Email Dan Goodley mailto:[log in to unmask] providing the subject heading

Would you please state whether or not you are intending to come along to the
session on the 7th February (this is to get an idea of numbers);
And, if you choose or have the time, could you provide question(s)/ issue(s)
in the main body of the email for Vic’s consideration
This is a public event and we will endeavour to widen participation by
