Transforming EDI through disability
Our ambitious plans to transform Equality, Diversity and Inclusion through a proper engagement with disability
What transformative knowledge pertaining to equity, diversity and inclusion can be generated through a focus on anti-ableist and anti-disablist practice?
Throughout all six years of the programme we will generate knowledge exchange that informs policy, strategy and practice of health research and research culture. We will capture and disseminate EDI in relation to inclusive scholarship, disabled people’s health priorities, participatory research methodologies, positive research cultures, affirmative disability representation and early career researcher development.

Our work
How we understand being ‘human’ differs between disciplines and has changed radically over time. We are living in an age marked by rapid growth in knowledge about the human body and brain, and new technologies with the potential to change them.
