Dear colleagues,
In November I shared with you details of my newly published book, Disabled
International Students in British Higher Education: Experiences and
Expectations, which has been published by Sense Publishers as part of their
Studies in Inclusive Education series. The book is a development of the
research and thesis I did as part of my PhD at University of Leeds, Centre
for Disability Studies.
Following the interests from different groups I have received on the book, I
have spoken to Sense Publishers and they have agreed to make the paperback
version of the book available for purchase on their website with 20%
discount until 1st March 2014. This discount is only available through Sense
Publishers, and not any other retailers. The link is
https://www.sensepublishers.com/catalogs/bookseries/studies-in-inclusive-education/disabled-international-students-in-british-higher-education/
and the price would be £22 as opposed to the RRP of £28.
I am also happy to visit interested universities/institutions to talk about
the study I undertook for the book and the findings on disabled
international students’ experiences. Please let me know if this is
something you feel your organisation might benefit from.
Please pass this new information on to any interested parties. As this has
been several years work in the making, I am keen for it to be used as a
resource recognising issues for disabled international students and working
towards improving their experiences by creating an inclusive HE system. I
hope you will find this book helpful for your own practice. Apologies if you
have seen this information from other sources, I have been working hard to
spread the information across various networks.
All the best
