The Diverse Work of Disability Studies: New Doctoral Research Panel
Dr Erin Pritchard, Dr Ella Houston, and Dr Laura Waite, Liverpool Hope University
Date: Wednesday 5 December, 2018
Time: 2:00pm-3:45pm
Place: Conference Room 1 & 2, Liverpool Hope University, UK
The work endorsed by the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies is often diverse. The core membership hails from numerous fields and disciplines on which it draws to explore and expand understandings of disability. This diversity is demonstrable in the newest doctoral work of the core members that will be brought together in an open research panel that engages with geography, media studies, and education, among many other subjects. The panel will focus on Dr Pritchard’s 'The Social and Spatial Experiences of Dwarfs in Public Spaces', Dr Houston’s 'The Representation of Disabled Women in Anglo-American Advertising: Examining how cultural disability tropes impact on the subjective wellbeing of disabled women', and Dr Waite’s ‘Deterritorialising Moments: An Exploration of the Educational Experiences of Children said to have Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities’. Diverse in focus and methodology, the three projects nonetheless unify in their appreciation of experiential knowledge and sustained engagement with disability studies.
The panel will be chaired by Head of Department of Disability and Education, Dr Claire Penketh, with an introduction from Director of the CCDS, Prof David Bolt.
Erin Pritchard, Ella Houston, and Laura Waite are Lecturers in the Department of Disability and Education at Liverpool Hope University, where they are also core members of the CCDS. Respectively they completed their doctorates at Newcastle University (2014), Lancaster University (2017), and Liverpool Hope University (2018). They have contributed variously to the work of the CCDS, including JLCDS; Disability, Avoidance and the Academy; the seminar series; and the biennial conference.
