A reminder that the entire #DisabilityStudies team at Liverpool Hope (my former colleagues) are threatened with redundancy. Devastating not just for individuals, but for the field. Students have written this powerful open letter about the impact. #SaveHopeDisabilityStudies
Solidarity with the faculty & students in Disability Studies at Liverpool Hope Uni. Here’s what students say DS gave them: “Our experiences weren’t pathologised for the first time but understood w/in a broader context of systemic ableism—something we had felt but never had the tools to articulate.”
Powerful open letter from Liverpool Hope #DisabilityStudies students/grads in response to proposed redundancy of the ENTIRE DS team: DS "is not just an academic discipline but a lifeline. [Tutors] bring lived expertise, intellectual leadership, and care that cannot be replicated elsewhere"

135ish signatures from the international #DisabilityStudies community on Jill Pluquailec's open letter on proposed redundancies including the entire DS team at Liverpool Hope! Thank you all - things are tough for my former colleagues and they really appreciate the support #SaveHopeDisabilityStudies

"We faced many barriers in school: [...] Many of us felt isolated, misunderstood, or pressured to fit in. [...] We could never repay our tutors for rebuilding our confidence one piece at a time." #SaveHopeDisabilityStudies
