Dear colleagues, The 10th Annual University of Cambridge Disability Lecture: Two steps forward, one step back: challenges to disabled people in 2012 I am writing to invite you to the 10th Annual Disability Lecture entitled ‘Two steps forward, one step back: challenges to disabled people in 2012’. The lecture will be given by Dame Anne Begg and will be held at 5.30pm on the 22nd March 2012, in the Fisher Building at St John’s College, Cambridge. The lecture is organised jointly between the University's Disability Resource Centre (DRC), Equality and Diversity team and St John’s College. The lecture is an opportunity to hear Dame Anne Begg discuss her view on the challenges to disabled people in 2012. Dame Anne Begg is a British Labour Party politician, who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Aberdeen South since 1997. She was the first full-time user of a wheelchair elected to the House of Commons. She made her maiden speech on 21 May 1997 and is now Chair of the Work and Pensions Select Committee. The lecture is open to all, the venue is fully accessible to disabled people and a BSL interpreter will be present. It would be wonderful to include as many people as possible in this event so please do come back to me with any requests around access. To book, or if you would like a poster, please do get in touch via [log in to unmask] . Yours sincerely, Kirsty Wayland Disability Development Consultant
