Have you looked at any of the calendar of scheduled events for UKDHM? This year’s Disability History Month challenges us to consider ‘Access: How far have we to come? How far have we to go?’ If local television channel KMTV’s report is anything to go by, accessibility might still be an afterthought in Kent as a county.
One event coming up is the Neurodiversity Workshop: Understanding and Accepting neurodivergent ways of experiencing the world. This event takes place Thursday 3 December 11.30-12.30. Book your place now.
Check out #DHMKent20 on Twitter, Instagram and Twitter for up to date info on events, or to see people’s opinions and debates on these issues.
What’s been your experience of inclusion or accessibility at the University of Kent so far? If you’d like to have a louder voice of influence, you could join the friendly student-led Accessibility Network at Kent – join the Facebook group or check them out on Instagram: @ukcaccessibilitynetwork or Twitter: @NetworkUKC to see what they’re up to. You can also email accessibilitynetwork@kent.ac.uk for information on joining socials and events.
Together, we can #MakeKentAccessible.
