Welcome to the Centre for Disability Research
Latest publication: Distress or Disability? Proceedings of a Symposium held at Lancaster University 15-16 November 2011.
We are an active Centre for research and teaching on disability and disablism. Pride is taken in the impact of our research and scholarship on policy making and social practices in disability arenas – regionally, nationally and internationally.
Our core members and supporters bring a mix of disciplines, research
methods, and skills to the study of disability and disablism. Sociology,
psychology and social policy are our particular strengths. But we welcome
the ideas and projects brought by other disciplines, perspectives and
personal experiences: inclusion dedicated to enhancing the equality and
human rights of disabled people is our watchword.
CeDR makes our ideas and skills widely available – especially to:
• disabled people and their organisations
• government departments and a range of agencies
• professionals and employers - in the public, private, and ‘not
for profit’ sectors
• international agencies and organisations - such as the World Health
Organisation (WHO)
We collaborate with Disability Studies groupings and individuals across the globe.
