Peace and best wishes to everyone on International Day of Disabled People
from all of us at Leeds.
Let's hope that we have moved towards a human rights Convention this time
next year.
As Osamu also noted, the DPI Sapporo Platform asserts for the first time
that...
'We must promote disability studies to change the image of disability in a
positive way among academics.'
I hope we can respond to that challenge as a community in the coming year,
using the list to maintain and build positive alliances between activism and
the academy.
