- University of Oxford Annual Disability Lecture: Changing the Disability Narrative. April 30th at 6-8pm (BST).
At the 10th Annual Disability Lecture, Beth Kume-Holland will use her lived experience to explore the topic of less visible disabilities and chronic illness.
Disabled people make up 24% of the UK population and 1.85 billion people globally, but all too often disability and accessibility are afterthoughts across institutions, business and society.
Speaker Beth Kume-Holland will share a glimpse into her personal journey from Oxford undergraduate and researcher to award-winning CEO and international disability rights advocate. She will delve into some of the key issues around disability and accessibility, why it matters and crucially, how we can each play our part to make institutions and society more accessible, with some practical tips that we can all implement immediately.
