Dan joined colleagues including NIE’s very own Professor Wong Meng Ee to reflect on findings of three ESRC funded research projects and their impact on thinking about critical disability research and scholarship.

Dan told us ‘this was a great opportunity to think together with Singaporean colleagues about the research impact of disability scholarship. The public lecture considered some of the challenges facing disability research in Brexit Britain and contemporary Singapore. The evening seminar brought together school teachers from special and education contexts to examine what it means to create and deploy impactful theory and research findings’.

iHuman is in Singapore and Melbourne this week to make research connections and explore collaborations.
