I am in search of disabled academic employees at the University of Oxford and Sheffield Hallam University for my PHD research. I am researching working environments for disabled academics at universities in England. My inspiration is my own disability and my own experiences as a disabled student with aspirations of working in academia.
I would be grateful to be contacted by disabled academic (teaching assistants, lecturers, readers, researchers, professors, etc.) from any subject area (science, mathematics, social sciences, liberal arts, sports, etc.) will to participate in my oral-history interview research from the University of Oxford and Sheffield Hallam University.
Many thanks,
Nadia.

Conferences Detail
NADP-UK International Conference 2015
The National Association of Disability Practitioners International Conference -'Working for disability equality in Higher Education - the global perspective' will be taking place in Manchester from 20th - 24th July 2015. It is supported by the University of Manchester Directorate for the Student Experience and Disability Support Office and will provide a global perspective, focusing on disabled student support from pre-entry to University or College onto successful transition into employment.
Support systems and services around the world are often recognised as being of a high quality, however, there is still much to learn and develop. This conference will enable delegates from the global community to come together and share knowledge, practical skills and good practice in the provision of support for disabled students
We are delighted that Scott Lissner (Chair of AHEAD), Ann Heelan (AHEAD Ireland) and Nicole Ofeish (Independent Learning Consultant and Stanford University) have agreed to give keynote presentations at the conference.
