Liverpool Hope hosts one of the most important and influential Disability Studies departments in the UK. Their emphasis on literary and cultural disability studies has produced research that has radically shaped thinking in the discipline and beyond and they have huge international reach.

Our students REALLY showed up today. Protesting outside of our VC's newly refurbished office.

For the morning crowd - please do sign and share. Every single one of my former #DisabilityStudies colleagues at Liverpool Hope is at risk of redundancy. This isn't just about individuals; it's a threat to the field itself.

Lovely to see so much support challenging the proposed mass redundancy at Liverpool Hope that disproportionately targets us within Social Sciences and more specifically, Disability Studies. Thank you to the wonderful Jill Pluquailec for writing this. Please sign & share @ucu.org.uk
