OUR WEBINAR SERIES: R-CubeD
RESEARCH, RETHINK & RESPOND TO DISABILITY
The R-CubeD webinar series is to renegotiate, extend and open up the academic space to alternative knowledge, and ways of doing research and modes of expression beyond the traditional structures, by providing a platform for diverse stakeholders such as disabled people, researchers from the academia, disabled people’s organizations, activists, corporates, and communities to come together for discussions and debates on what should drive forward the research on disability and technology. It aims to bring theory and practice together while contributing new, critical understandings on disability and the Global South.
