What an irony, I doubt if I would get through the first stage of that due to discrimination J I already have a PhD in discrimination, indeed I graduated in that specialty as soon as I started school. Oh well I suppose I could do a post doctoral study into the theatre of the absurd, that is to say the current field of disability studies, a klein bottle if ever there was one.

Further Information: Applications are invited for a three year, full-time scholarship to undertake a research project entitled ‘Disability discrimination and the recruitment process: responding to legal and technological developments.’ commencing 1st October 2012. This project, which will be funded by Leeds University Business School, will be supervised by Dr. Liz Oliver and Dr Jane Holgate of the Work and Employment Relations Division. Description of the project There exists significant ‘gap’ between levels of employment of disabled and non-disabled persons. Moreover despite growing acknowledgement of the business benefits of equality and diversity within organisations, the value of disabled talent is often overlooked. The focus of this study is recruitment and selection, these are important ‘processes’ where discriminatory practices can be a key barrier to the participation of disabled workers within paid employment. This project aims: · To gain a greater understanding of the complex dynamics of disability discrimination in the context of contemporary approaches to recruitment. · To explore ways in which recruitment processes can be made more enabling. · To critically explore the role of ‘business led’ voluntary approaches in delivering equality in recruitment. · To identify areas of good practice. Project partner: The Clear Company The Clear Company is an extremely successful organisation with more than a decade of experience and a track record of assisting public and private sector companies and charities to achieve their full potential by improving diversity in recruitment and talent management.
