I delivered a keynote talk titled Becoming a disabled activist – covering my journey from acquiring a disability to contributing to activism and policy development within the academic sector. I also particiapted on a panel discussion Creating representative teaching environments that support inclusion and belonging with Kamran Mallik (CEO, Disability Rights UK) and Joanna Grace (The Sensory Projects).
