I am also Affiliate Professor at the Department of Disability Studies, University of Malta.
A Sociologist with a keen interest in the politics of oppression and the resistance practices of the oppressed, most of my work focuses on disability politics and human rights (UK and internationally). My interest in and commitment to work in the area of disability and social justice began when I was an undergraduate student and I became involved with supporting the People First movement (self-advocacy movement). I learnt then what it means to be an 'ally' (a lesson I still work very hard to remember and apply in my actions today). I have undertaken work on varied topics in the field of disability research including Citizenship and Disability, the Disabled People's Movement as a Social Movement, Disability Equality in English Primary Schools, Anti-Ableist Pedagogy and most recently, Inclusive Play. In the below video I discuss disability politics, the role of allies (need for self-reflexivity), the social model, ableism, ability-expectations, oppression and what brought me into this field.
