A key ambition of Disability Matters is to make disability the driving subject of research. One element of our programme promotes scholarship that demonstrates the contribution of disability studies to a host of fields and disciplines. Over the next six years we are running a number of short and accessible online symposia that address a general question:

How is health research, theory and scholarship transformed by an engagement with critical disability studies?

17.00 - 18.15: Singapore time

10 - 11.15: British Summer Time

How we understand being ‘human’ differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
