Dear colleagues
sorry, and thanks to Colin Cameron for point this out but this should read 'we are NOW putting out the second newsletter" (rather than NOT as I original stated)!
DISABILITY STUDIES ASSOCIATION MONTHLY e-NEWSLETTER
Dear comrades
The first e-newsletter is available at http://www.breakthrough-uk.com/DisabilityResearchNetworkApril07.rtf. We are not putting together the second. Our aims are to provide informal, off-the-press and informative monthly details of disability research activities which might be of interest to audiences including disability activists, organisations of disabled people, students, researchers, policy makers, families, practitioners and local authorities. This network relies, obviously, on regular monthly input. What we would like from you, if you are interested *
* The details of your institution and one contact person and their email address
* Monthly commitment to provide us with BRIEF information (inc. related weblinks) about disability research activities you and your colleagues are involved through emails each month me (you will be reminded by email). This could be no more than a few lines * and no attachments * as we want to keep it workable, informal and relatively easy to read.
* To provide details on such things as news on forthcoming publications;
conferences/seminars you are attending or hosting; funding opportunities of interest to disability researchers; news from local and national government; international disability issues; stories from research; ideas for research that you would like to explore with interested others; disability studies teaching materials and resources; links to new policy and user consultation, etc *
* To provide in your email information categorised in terms of your institution e.g. ‘News from the Research Institute of Health and Social Change, Manchester Metropolitan University’; ‘Activities of the disability studies team at University of Northumbria’.
* To make the email simple text without loads of formatting for ease of putting together
* To posit other ideas for developing the e-newsletter - perhaps a section on 'possible future research / funding priorities' which readers might be able to link into for funding bids.
We hope you are interested. Please send your news / information to the newsletter's editor Tsitsi Chataika at [log in to unmask]
