Join the Melbourne Disability Institute and the University of Melbourne’s Diversity and Inclusion team for this engaging and thought-provoking public discussion on the social model of disability 40 years on.
The panel will reflect on the impact and evolution of the social model over the last forty years. They will also grapple with what further evolution is needed – or whether it is time for a revolution and paradigm shift. Has the social model achieved what was intended or do we need to think about other ways of talking about the lived experience of disability?
This 75-minute session is part of a three-part seminar series designed to build engagement across the University – and the broader community – with key concepts and issues in the critical disability studies space.
There will be time for questions at the end of the talk – a link will be shared to submit questions in advance.
