iHuman researchers had the opportunty to reimagine disability research through a creative workshop, developing a Manifesto for Critical Disability Studies

A wall of cuttings, drawings and scrawlings capturing some of the ambitions iHuman researchers have for Critical Disability Studies including slogans such as 'Love', 'Crip Killjoy', 'Work with bodies, desires and feelings', 'Difference, disagreement and conflict', 'remaking a different university differently'

The critical disability studies community in iHuman has been engaging together to reimagine disability research in difficult times.

Researchers from across iHuman and the Faculty of Social Sciences were expertly facilitated by Dal Kular to embrace creative methods to capture a Critical Disability Studies manifesto. 

Dal Kular uses mixed media tools to allow for creativity and collaboration, and through this session researchers captured their ambitions for Critical Disability Studies throuh cuttings, drawings and scrawlings.

Slogans included ‘Love', 'Crip Killjoy', 'Work with bodies, desires and feelings', 'Difference, disagreement and conflict', and 'remaking a different university differently.'
