>Hello all,

>I'm looking for women who have a / multiple disabilities who are also

>My research is looking at the personal (particularly identity) and political,
>academic and professional issues, as well as 'escaping the chains of
>>disability' issues that may lead women into higher degrees and /or
>academic >careers. Supposedly 'the university' is a place where the

>I'm interested in looking at >issues of identity formation and

>perceived by academically high achieving WwD's .

>The field research will include a number of one to one conversations over
>coffee, over telephone or over email. Initial contact will be via email.
>The interviews will become the basis of a narrative that pieces together
>>womens experiences, political realities, Govt and University policy
>issues, and >future hope or expectations. Whilst issues more
