Dear Jisc Group (Leeds),
I was excited to see Vic Finkelstein being honoured in your forthcoming Leeds Disability lecture series. I was a friend of Vic's and shared his Leninist take on social power. I know he was very proud of his work at Leeds. Am however baffled that Sir Tom Shakespeare is the opening speaker. The gap between their views on disability studies, activism and social titles couldn't be more marked.
Vic would have seen the funny side of this incongruity however.
