Nancy E Hansen, PhD, Professor, Director, Interdisciplinary Master's Program,Disability Studies Accessibility is not an optics issue or a choice it is a necessity If you say I have special needs ... then just say the word disabled. Euphemisms only fuel ableism. Disability is not a dirty word. Haben Girma True Inclusion moves at the speed of trust.

Dear colleagues, In September the Open University hosted a conference exploring equitable careers for disabled researchers. We were joined by more than 200 delegates and 10 speakers on the day with many more accessing the presentations asynchronously in their own time and at their own pace. The recordings and transcripts of the presentations from the conference are now available via the link below: https://research.open.ac.uk/events/next-generation-disability-initiative-online-conference/videos. If you were able to join us on the day thank you again for your contributions and for making the event so special. For those who couldn't attend, we hope you enjoy these wonderful presentations and finally, for anyone interested in continuing the conversation and would like to get in touch we would be delighted to hear from you.
