We are delighted to announce that registration for the CDS PGR conference 2025 “Disability within Environments: disability studies perspectives” on the 17th September is now open. This hybrid one-day conference will take place in-person at the University of Leeds (UK) and online via Zoom. The conference will run from 9:30 to 16:00 BST before concluding with a post-conference social.
This conference will address how disability operates within different environments, how disabled people are affected in these different environments and how environments might be reshaped and reimagined to create more sustainable, just, and inclusive futures. The four hybrid panel sessions of the conference will focus on environments of
Higher Education
Urban Spaces
Creative Spaces
Social Care, Health, and Wellbeing
We intend to provide a supportive space for PGRs to share their work, receive constructive feedback, and engage in interdisciplinary discussions. Participants will benefit from networking, skill development, and academic exchange.
This event is open to all PGRs at any stage of their researchers, post-doc, and early career researchers, as well as academics, activists, and students from across the world.
