Claire Penketh – Head of Department for disability & Education at Liverpool hope university and core member of the centre for culture and disability studies (CCDS)
As a department we are committed to working with and on behalf of disabled people. We employ disability studies and specifically cultural disability studies to support and further understandings of the role that disabled people play in enhancing our understanding of the relationship between culture and disability. We aim to go beyond ideas that promote support, extending thinking to promote a profound appreciation of difference.
