As part of our UK Disability History Month series of events, Laurence Clark - comedian, actor, disability rights campaigner and alumni of the University of Leeds postgraduate Disability Studies programme – will be performing on the evening of Wednesday 9 December. Laurence uses his productions and routines to challenge the general public’s conceptions of disabled people. More details about him can be found at

This event is funded by the University of Leeds’ School of Law and Equality Policy Unit and organised by Alison Sheldon and colleagues at the Centre for Disability Studies. It is free to participants but registration is required –

Very best wishes
