Hi all,
Does anyone on the UK list serve actually live near London? Some
non-islanders will be in town presenting at the Queer Matters
Conferences at King's College on Friday 28 May. We've checked into
accessibility (and we're told "green light") and would like very much
to meet up with disability activists, academics, educators. . . . In
other words, we hope that we're not the only cohort with power chairs
zooming around. (Yes, we've been caught 100 meters below at
inaccessible tube stations before and will try not to repeat that --)
Please feel welcome to attend our sessions and we can meet up there
too. We do have permission for local interested parties to attend the
disability studies sessions without having to register for the
conference. Contact myself or Bob McRuer ([log in to unmask]) for further
info.
Cheers,
Sharon Snyder
