Hi all,
Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities!
My name is Sara Carnovali and I am a PhD Student in Constitutional law, doing researches on the rights of people with disabilities. In particular, about articles 6 and 7 CRPD; so, multiple discriminations suffered by women and children with disabilities.
Considering the fact that here this topic is not really studied and materials are really hard to find, I thought it could be a good idea sending an email to you, in order to receive some bibliographic advices on the issue.
Thank you in advance for the attention and helpfulness!
Kind regards,
Sara

Good wishes to you on this the International Day of Disabled People.

The International Day of Disabled People was created by the United Nations in 1992 to promote awareness, and mobilise support, for the estimated one billion disabled people around the world facing barriers to inclusion.

This year the theme is Inclusion Matters: Access and Empowerment of People of All Abilities.

How is it for you?

My name is Sue Porter and I'm a researcher based at the Norah Fry Research Centre, at the University of Bristol, and we are involved in a research project funded by the ESRC called Tackling Disabling Practices: Co-production and Change. As part of this project we are interested to hear stories from the lives of disabled people working and learning in the universities, and thought the International Day of Disabled People would be a great opportunity to share experiences.

How is it for you as a disabled person working and/or learning in higher education? Post us a story from your day in words or images, whatever format is best for you, at https://gettingthingschanged.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/we-want-to-hear-your-stories/

Thank You. Sue

Disability is not a 'brave struggle' or 'courage in the face of adversity'... disability is an art. It's an ingenious way to live. Neil Marcus
