To celebrate the publication of my two edited books, I was speaking about Ableism in Academia at a range of events. Each event focused on a specific aspect of the books’ contents. I was privileged to be discussing experiences, practices, policies with esteemed colleagues and experts in their fields. And it is with great excitement and pride that I share these recordings:

Ableism in Academia: Theorising Experiences of Disabilities and Chronic Illnesses in Higher Education can be downloaded for free from the JSTOR web site or from UCL Press.

Lived Experiences of Ableism in Academia: Strategies for Inclusion in Higher Education is available for purchase from Policy Press.
