Attn: NZ and Aust list members: Academics with disabilities mentoring elist established After an extraordinary response to an email I informally circulated around my networks a e-group has been establish to exploring how to get this venture up and running. The group is not disability studies specific. Rather its target group are those individuals who identify as 'having disabilities' doing post grad work, and/or lecturing in higher education. Cheers Fiona LIST DESCRIPTION: The list has been established to discuss and establish a mentoring project for academics with 'disabilities' who work in higher education in Australia and New Zealand. Part of our task is to increase the presence and visibility of faculty members with disabilities, to support students to undertake post graduate study and consider a career as an academic and to also identify and eliminate any 'disability'- related barriers that impact on hirings and tenure.
