Hello Everyone
I am posting a link to two films on youtube.com about a project called Laughing at the Disabled that has been given ethics clearance at Queensland University of Technology. This project has been highly controversial and the two academics who publicly spoke out about the project have been suspended for 6 months without pay.
youtube.com Just type in "laughing at the disabled QUT" and one of them comes up. The others can be seen through typing in "Disabilithy community speaks out"
Apparently, due to mounting pressure from a number of disability groups in Queensland the project title has been changed to Laughing with the Disabled - whether this means the content of the project has changed, I am not sure.
Anyway, i would be interested in getting people's thoughts. If you would like more information on the project, the best person to speak to is Kevin Cocks, the director of Qld Advocacy Inc, [log in to unmask]
