@RuthElleson Enjoy! I thought Wozzeck was fabulous - be interested to hear what you think.

(Was going to say “too loud and a complete absence of melody”, but I’m going to Wozzeck tonight, so…)

Some visually striking moments. But overall, too much Wayne McGregor and not enough Jim Henson visuals. Also, too loud.

@AbleismAcademia @chron_ac @EnabledInAca @DisInHigherEd Thanks! I will send this link along with whatever I end up writing myself to make the case.

@CarlaFinesilver @chron_ac @EnabledInAca @DisInHigherEd Here’s something @ncjbrown has written about conferencing “disabled style”. conferenceinference.wordpress.com/2020/07/13/con…

@chron_ac @AbleismAcademia @EnabledInAca @DisInHigherEd Any papers, blog posts, etc. on the subject also welcome!

@MathsTeacherKYP @DrHBComputing @crestem_kcl @KingsECS If you want to display a lumpy pink and yellow blob, you're welcome to it :)

@DrHBComputing @CarlaFinesilver @crestem_kcl Alex, I think we have another potential contributor to the crochet display in the @KingsECS makerspace! #educrochet

@KingsECS I know some of you are definitely in the vicinity this afternoon but not if any of you like (free) live orchestral music..?

@TheUnwrittenPub It does make a big difference selecting the right stock photos though, doesn't it?! I do a bit in one of my lectures on the stock images you get when searching for 'disabled' or similar terms, and the cultural implications they carry.

@TheUnwrittenPub Of course - totally understand! Just fact-checking so I don't give incorrect info.

@TheUnwrittenPub Hello! Just wondering if the photos in your articles are (all? mostly?) taken by disabled photographers as well as presumably chosen by disabled editors? Going to link to your site in my teaching, want to make sure I get details right :)

@TheUnwrittenPub @RachelCDailey @shonalouiseblog Yes - I've been reading these. Great stuff!

@CarlaFinesilver I (@RachelCDailey) recently did a series for The Mirror called Disabled Britain with disabled writers and editors and used disabled photogs where we could including @shonalouiseblog

@DrMBotha Thanks - that looks really interesting and important, will definitely be reading! Will keep an eye out for the new one too.

@CarlaFinesilver If its useful, I wrote an article on dehumanisation and objectification in autism research, as an autoethnography from undergraduate studies through to completing my PhD. I also have a forthcoming chapter on how community psychology can be emancipatory frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

@DrAimeeGrant @policypress Ta - will have a look. The chapters I found were just right for a specific couple of sessions (gonna pair with papers of my own), but might be useful to have something more prescriptive to add to supplementary reading list.

@CarlaFinesilver Thanks so much Carla 🥰 If you're looking for something more accessible & prescriptive for dissertation students, you might like my second book - the first 3 chapters are free on the @policypress website at the moment: policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/doing-your-res…

@DrESheppard Well yes. The PGCE first day of term in my dept was Mon 5 Sep this year. I don't personally have any lectures until next week but many are in the thick of it, and scheduling that presumes otherwise is excluding.

@DrKaraAyers Thanks! Have downloaded this one and will keep an eye out for the pending.

@CarlaFinesilver This piece I co-authored is kind of in line but an even better fit for what you're describing is pending publication. We also discuss anti-ableist methodology in the Disability Research Lab I lead: digitalcommons.usu.edu/ddnj/vol1/iss2…

@acerbictwitt Thanks! Hi @viscidula, will have a look at your publications list - unless you have anything specific you'd suggest?

@CripicalThought @chron_ac @PhDisabled @DisInHigherEd @AbleismAcademia I'm not sure - am just speaking, not organising event. Try asking @KCLDocStudies?

@CarlaFinesilver @chron_ac @PhDisabled @DisInHigherEd @AbleismAcademia Is it open to disabled PGRs anywhere in UK or only at King’s?

@KCLdiversity not sure if you've seen this?

@MathsTeacherKYP Yes, it's only just come out so the KCL library won't have purchased access from the publisher yet.

@CarlaFinesilver Struggling to access this via KCL! Will email you!

@KayaLoz I am so glad it resonated with you! Thank you for letting us know and for sharing further ❤️

Such a great chapter. As an academic with an invisible disability, I've never felt seen and understood this much. I want everyone who I want to understand my experience read it.@CarlaFinesilver , Jennifer Leigh and Nicole Brown, thank you ❤️

@jilltxt Give the essays in Ableism in Academia a go? uclpress.co.uk/products/123203 (open access ebook) And Eli Clare e.g. Brilliant Imperfection.

@helencoulshed @UcuWaterloo Thanks Helen. But my point was more that I want to know the reasons for persistently leaving (disclosed) disability out of reporting and messaging on equality work.

@CarlaFinesilver @UcuWaterloo It's currently 9% at KCL and it's 16.5% nationally.

"We are pleased to say that, for 2020, the overall gender pay gap has reduced further to 17.1%, from 17.8%. We are concerned, however, by the increase in the ethnicity pay gap..20%, a rise from 13.2% in 2019" #NotGoodEnough #FourFights kcl.ac.uk/hr/payequality….
