My name is Piers Gooding and I'm a PhD candidate from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. I'd like to ride the slipstream of the issue Tina raised and make a request. Myself and my colleagues/ allies/ friends, Merinda Epstein, Cath Roper, and Flick Grey, are working on an article about 'critical user/ survivor studies' in the university, and the need to create a space in universities for the first-person perspective, sometimes called 'native theorists', on experiences of profound distress, madness, what-gets-labelled-as-mental-illness, and what is perhaps best known on this list as psychosocial disabilities. The article is largely drawn from a lecture given at the Melbourne Free University, called, 'Madness in the Academy', which spoke to many of the issues that Tina referred to in reference to Margaret Price's work. The lecture can be found archived here, http://melbournefreeuniversity.org/?page_id=632 We are looking for materials in the formal (academic) and informal (blog, organisational, activist) literature that speak to this issue, or examples of where this is beginning in uni's and technical colleges. We are primarily interested in the rising momentum toward creating a space for 'madness in the academy' that addresses not only the collective knowledge of first-person perspectives, but that also adresses reasonable accommodation and inclusive design in universities and other places of tertiary learning - ways that address structural discrimination which so often lead to people with psychosocial disabilities being excluded. Any materials you may have on this topic would be much appreciated.

The petition campaign against euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada was succesful. We received more than 32,000 names that will be sent to the Attorney General of Canada (AG). The online petition can still be signed online. The Carter case , which is attempting to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide in Canada was heard by Justice Smith in Vancouver. EPC intervened in the Carter case. EPC made our intervention on December 14. We are waiting for the decision. We have only raised $25,000 of the $53,000 cost in the Carter case. Thank you to everyone who have generously donated. Please consider donating towards the cost of intervening in the Carter case. Preliminary hearings in the Leblanc case, which is attempting to strike down the assisted suicide law in Canada, will begin on January 27, 2012. EPC is seeking to intervene in the case with Vivre dans la Dignité. The cost to intervene in a court case is prohibitive. EPC needs you financial support to make this possible. Since we are seeking to intervene in the Leblanc case in Quebec, if you have not asked people to sign the petition to the AG or signed the online petition, you can still do so and we will add it to the current petitions. We are asking you to send hand-written letters to the (AG) and your Member of Parliament. Link to the strategy. The Supreme Court of Canada has decided to hear the Rasouli case. The Rasouli case is seeking to give doctors the right to unilaterally withdraw life-sustainting treatment from patients without consent. EPC successfully intervened in the Rasouli case at the Ontario Court of Appeal who unanimously decided that doctors are required to obtain consent before withdrawing life-sustaining treatment. We have been informed that the Supreme Court of Canada will hear the Rasouli case in May 2012. The Netherlands lower house is debating approving euthanasia for any and no reason based on a person who is "tired of living." At the same time Wesley Smith reported that Dutch Psychiatrists are now officially euthanizing patients. We need to stop euthanasia and/or assisted suicide from becoming legal. A case of medical discrimination has erupted against a young girl with a significant disability. Amelia, has been denied a Kidney Transplant due to the fact that she has a significant disability. Read the story. The Attorney General in Hawaii has confirmed that Assisted Suicide is not legal in Hawaii. A conference on Assisted Suicide is planned in Great Falls Montana on January 28, 2012. The seminar features Dr. Charles Bentz (Oregon), Montana Senators Greg Hinkle and Jim Shockley and Bradley Williams and Margaret Dore. EPC is distributing the report of the Parliamentary Committee on Palliative and Compassionate Care and the book Keep Breathing. If you want to receive one of these items please indicate it with your donation. EPC is selling the DVD sets of the Third International Symposium on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide for $50 for one or $80 for two sets. You must indicate that you are purchasing the Symposium DVD's when you send money. EPC is intervening in these court cases in order to protect you from euthanasia and assisted suicide. EPC intervened in two cases in 2011 and we will make in at least three court interventions in 2012. We require your support for us to be successful. Link to donate or become a member. A good way to help EPC pay for these court interventions without costing you anything is by contacting Real Estate for Life when you are deciding to sell your home. The service is free and EPC will receive money from the sale of your home. * Become a friend of EPC on facebook. If you do not wish to receive emails from EPC please ask to unsubscribe.

The Future of Inclusive Education: Future Bright or Future in Crisis? The Centre for Disability Studies, University of Leeds invites you to attend a one-day conference to debate the future of Inclusive Education in the UK. DATE & TIME: Monday 2nd April, registration 9.30 -10.00am, close of conference 4.30pm. VENUE: Weetwood Hall Hotel & Conference Centre, University of Leeds, Otley Rd, Leeds, LS16 5PS. REGISTRATION FEE: £50 to waged; and free for unwaged delegates. In 2011 the new Government in the UK announced its desire to ‘remove the bias towards inclusion’. This has sparked fears for the future of inclusive education in the UK. Here at the Centre for Disability Studies, University of Leeds, we believe that now is the time to bring together all those who are committed to the ideal of inclusive education, to take stock of progress to date here in the UK, celebrate the successes, highlight the challenges/barriers, share our fears for the future and unite in our hopes and aspirations. It is time for a new Manifesto for Inclusive Education! And we need to write this together! Guest speakers will include young disabled people and their parents, Tara Flood (Director of the Alliance for Inclusive Education), Micheline Mason (writer, poet and leading activist in the field) and Prof. Len Barton (Emeritus Professor of Inclusive Education, University of London and leading academic in the field). There will be a short performance from Musical ARC, a group that runs workshops for schools with the aim of breaking down barriers and challenging perceptions about disability, whilst creating music. Delegates will be invited to take part in workshop activities during the afternoon, to share their views/thoughts about inclusive education. If you would like to attend this event then please contact Marie Johnson ([log in to unmask] or tel: 0113 343 4407) to book your place. Please note: the venue is fully accessible. Please book early to ensure a place – these will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).

This interdisciplinary post-doctoral program emphasizes preparing scholars to conduct research that has real world impact and translates to disability communities, systems and policies. The training program includes: a) didactic preparation, b) close mentoring by highly qualified researchers and stakeholder community members, c) immersion in ongoing research and demonstration projects, and d) field placement in carefully selected programs or organizations where participation of people with disabilities is targeted. Trainees undergo a structured and closely-supervised training process with a range of opportunities for didactic and experiential training, on campus and within the community, and with common expected milestones. Each trainee's program will be individually designed to assure that the trainee has access to the most rigorous and relevant concepts and research methodologies for his/her chosen focus for studying participation disparities, services, policies and outcomes. Applicants must have received their Ph.D. or M.D. degrees within the past four years. The length of the fellowship experience will vary. Ordinarily, it will be for one to two years. Trainees receive a competitive salary and full benefits, tuition support for any courses taken and a modest travel budget. Applicants should submit a curriculum vita and three reference contacts. Copies of relevant publications and a brief statement of research experience and research goals must be provided for full consideration. The appointments can begin any time.

I am aware that various governments are changing definitions of "disability" in an effort to reduce the number of disabled recipients. I am interested here in any form of disability related financial assistance whether it is unemployment insurance, veterans pensions, workers compensation or any government funds offered to disabled persons.

The activists are angry about the impact that the proposed Welfare Reform Bill will have on poor and disabled people. Recent reports have shown that as a result of the bill 500,000 families stand to lose their homes while others will become ‘imprisoned in them’(4). Nearly half a million people would lose their Disability Living Allowance, including disabled children(5). People with terminal illnesses would be forced into work, and 3.2 million will be put through demanding tests that have already pushed some to take their own lives(6). According to their own research, the government’s flagship reform will push 100,000 children into poverty(7). The government has defended the bill on the grounds that it needs to cut the deficit. However, the activists point out that much greater amounts of money are lost through tax dodging by the super-rich each year, money which could instead continue current welfare provision. In January, Private Eye revealed a further £2 billion tax dodge by Vodafone, in addition to the £6 billion scam revealed in 2010(8). The most recent dodge by Vodafone is greater than the cuts to Disability Living Allowance, which will affect half a million people. The bill continues to be debated in the Lords, but will have to return to the House of Commons, where MPs will vote on peer's amendments to the bill. In spite of strong criticism of the bill from disabled peers, David Cameron has already sworn that he will call on coalition MPs to overturn the amendments. The target of the secret action is not being pre-announced, with UK Uncut only calling on people to travel to Holborn tube station in central London with a charged Oyster card, ready to travel to a secret location. The exact details of where the action is expected to be leaked through Twitter. Richard Whitehurst of DPAC said: “These vicious cuts have already led to at least 31 disabled people committing suicide and many more are now talking about it as they feel they have no future. In the 21st century, in one of the richest nations in the world, disabled people should not be forced to live in fear every day of their lives. Cuts to disabled people's benefits and services will not save money but will ultimately cost the taxpayer far more as pushing disabled people into destitution and withdrawing care services will lead to an increased demand for NHS care. With the cap on benefits some single disabled people living in London will be left with only £25 a week to meet all their needs for food, heating and all other costs after paying their rent." Sarah Evans of UK Uncut said: “British people are proud of the welfare state because it has provided for the 99% for over 60 years. This bill will remove vital lifelines and force people into deeper poverty, making many prisoners in their own homes. This Bill is simply not needed or wanted by anyone. There are alternatives- we can afford a fair welfare system that provides for all." “Instead of taking serious action against rich companies tax dodging and their ‘fancy corporate lawyers’ David Cameron is instead choosing to make the poorest and most isolated pay for the economic crisis they didn't cause. At least £25 billion of tax is avoided every single year by super rich companies and individuals, far more than the government hopes to save through this devastating bill. The welfare reform bill is cruel and unnecessary and it must be stopped.â€� ENDS 1 – Disabled People Against Cuts is a UK based organisation fighting for justice and human rights for all disabled people. http://www.dpac.uk.net/ | http://twitter.com/Dis_PPL_Protest 2 - http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/square/de95/m_civrgt.htm 3 – UK Uncut is a grassroots anti-austerity direct action network.

The Centre for Disability Studies, University of Leeds invites you to attend a one-day conference to debate the future of Inclusive Education in the UK. DATE & TIME: Monday 2nd April, registration 9.30 -10.00am, close of conference 4.30pm. VENUE: Weetwood Hall Hotel & Conference Centre, University of Leeds, Otley Rd, Leeds, LS16 5PS. REGISTRATION FEE: £50 to waged; and free for unwaged delegates. In 2011 the new Government in the UK announced its desire to 'remove the bias towards inclusion'. This has sparked fears for the future of inclusive education in the UK. Here at the Centre for Disability Studies, University of Leeds, we believe that now is the time to bring together all those who are committed to the ideal of inclusive education, to take stock of progress to date here in the UK, celebrate the successes, highlight the challenges/barriers, share our fears for the future and unite in our hopes and aspirations. It is time for a new Manifesto for Inclusive Education! And we need to write this together! Guest speakers will include young disabled people and their parents, Tara Flood (leading activist and Director of the Alliance for Inclusive Education), Sally French (celebrated writer, lecturer and special school survivor) and Prof. Len Barton (Emeritus Professor of Inclusive Education, University of London and leading academic in the field).

Delegates will be invited to take part in workshop activities during the afternoon, to share their views/thoughts about inclusive education.

The seminar is taking place from 2- 6pm on 6th March 2012 in the European Parliament in Brussels. There will be no registration fee to attend. The purpose of this event is to bring together key stakeholders in the area to examine and further highlight the case for a European level legal and policy response to protect the privacy of genetic information and to prevent genetic discrimination, particularly in the employment and insurance contexts. The Centre for Disability Law and Policy recently hosted a conference on 19th November 2011 entitled 'Genetic Discrimination - Transatlantic Perspectives on the Case for a European Level Legal Response'. The conference highlighted the interdisciplinary nature of this area and focused on the interaction between genetic science, technology, ethics and the law, and in particular, how best to regulate this complex area. On foot of the scientific and legal expertise offered, and on consideration of the potential for abuse and the fundamental human rights at stake, the conference strongly indicated a need for an appropriate regulatory response at European level to protect the privacy of genetic information and to prevent genetic discrimination. The event in March 2012 aims to build upon the discussion generated from the conference last November and further highlight this issue at European level.

Government Minister, David Freud, has justified this reduction by saying that the gap between what disabled children on lower and middle rates of Disability Living Allowance get. and what they will then get under the new Universal Credit system as they move into adulthood is too large - so the solution is to get them used to living in poverty as that's what's in store when they are adults. http://jennymorrisnet.blogspot.com/2012/01/logic-of-reducing-benefits-for-disabled.html ________________End of message________________ This Disability-Research Discussion list is managed by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds (www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies).

In the podcast available on iTunes she talks with me, the host, Anthony Tusler, about her latest research in trainability. It is the phenomenon of able-bodied people passing as disabled. We have a wide ranging conversation touching on disability identity, sexuality, politics, and her recent marriage. Bethany Stevens is a professor and researcher in disability leadership and sexuality. In 2011 she was awarded the Irving K. Zola award for an emerging scholar in Disability Studies by the Society for Disability Studies. Her paper, “Interrogating Transability: A Catalyst to View Disability as Body Art,” explores able-bodied people passing as disabled. To listen or download the podcast just search for “disability stories” or “Tusler” on the iTunes store. Telling Our Disability Stories is a monthly podcast sponsored by the Accessible Technology Coalition.
