Dear all, Thanks Mark, for these helpful comments (see below) about the way we talk and listen to each other. I must say, for one, that I had forgotten about a discussion group remit targeted at 'those working within a social model of disability'. I wonder if this remit might be modified/qualified to emphasise an interest in disability research, and particularly, but not exclusively, research aligned with the social model of disability. Apologies for this rather crudely put suggestion. It is just an attempt to re-emphasise the value of listening to diverse viewpoints and to use these to develop collective (not orthodox) understanding of both applied and theoretical research related to disability.

That is simply a common courtesy. The purpose of the list is to foster debate, exchange and greater understanding within our diverse international community. Although it is also fair to note, as list owner, that the original remit (noted in the list description to new members) was to target those 'working within a social model of disability'. Make of that what you will - there is no party line on what that means as far as I know. As chairman Mao finally got round to saying: 'Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend' (or something like that) Best wishes Mark Priestley Centre for Disability Studies University of Leeds LEEDS LS2 9JT UK tel: +44 113 343 4417 fax: +44 113 343 4415 e-mail: [log in to unmask] http://www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies ________________End of message______________________ Archives and tools for the Disability-Research Discussion List are now located at: www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/disability-research.html You can JOIN or LEAVE the list from this web page. ________________End of message______________________ Archives and tools for the Disability-Research Discussion List are now located at: www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/disability-research.html You can JOIN or LEAVE the list from this web page.
