TABOU Disability Magazine

It's the new academic year so thought we would introduce ourselves to our new followers! We are a narrative-changing magazine and online platform run for and by disabled students. Our mission is to increase the access and inclusion of disabled students in higher education 1/5

✍️ In 2020 I applied for DSA, to ensure I received the support I needed to access my degree ❌ But from step 1, I found the system to be completely flawed ✊ @OxfordStudents must stand up for disabled students at every stage @TabouMagazine taboumagazine.com/new-blog/o9az7…

As an @LSEnews student, I’d love to study in the new Marshall Building — but when I tried to enter today & yesterday, the wheelchair accessible door was locked. It’s been 12yrs since the Equality Act, & LSE still can’t wrap it’s head around disabled students entering buildings.

taboumagazine.com/latest-pieces/… A new study led by researchers @NorthumbriaUni will document and analyse the experiences of young disabled adults who employ Personal Assistants to help with their care and support needs. Participants will receive a £20 gift voucher for taking part.

📢Our grant and Master's scholarship applications are now OPEN for the next academic year! Do you need extra financial support for your studies? Find out more on our website snowdontrust.org #SnowdonGrant #SnowdonScholarship #InvestingInDisabledStudents

Everything in this thread by @chr0nicallycute captures the experience of many disabled students.

Massive congratulations to @RoseAylingEllis She has brought such joy, pride and fun to our screens. It brings Tabou such happiness to know that Deaf and disabled young people will have been able to follow her journey on @bbcstrictly

My students are busy! Christianna is looking for participants in her research about #ChronicIllness in #HigherEducation to take part in an online chat-based discussion. What types of teaching do you find #Inclusive? Why? #Disability #DisabledStudents higherpsyched.home.blog/2021/12/14/wha…

Delighted to be part of the Writing Disability series at Cambridge Uni Library (me and Molli Carlson online 14 Dec). TONIGHT it's Lottie Mills and Elizabeth Leung talking about children's literature and disability representation. Free. lib.cam.ac.uk/whats/writing-…

It was brilliant for our Editor @_DanniWatts to get the opportunity to chat to @itslaurenrowles at todays ACCEPT event run by @Clifford_Chance - a great opportunity to learn about and discuss the often overlooked intersection between disability and LGBTQ+ identities.
