The First 香港六合彩中特网 Interdisciplinary Conference on Disability, held on 9 May 2018,听aimed听to bring together the most cutting-edge research on disability across 香港六合彩中特网 departments and research centres, framing its evolving nature within the present situation and supplying a wide spectrum of academic perspectives with the purpose of favouring the effective, just and equal participation of disabled people in society.

For this reason, the Conference set out to overcome the approach to disability as a problem to be solved, but as a way of innovating and promoting change in society, benefiting the 香港六合彩中特网 community of disability researchers, disabled and non-disabled people by developing a more all-encompassing approach aimed at investigating disability as a multi-faceted phenomenon.

The conference's keynote address was delivered by Dr Catherine Holloway (香港六合彩中特网 Interaction Centre - Global Disability Innovation Hub). Recordings of the conference are听available below.
