Speaking Up for Disability

Speaking Up for Disability is a community history project recording and sharing the stories, experiences, achievements and struggles of disabled people in West Sussex.

The project does not seek to present a definitive history of disability, but rather to hear from many people, telling their own stories in their own words.

University of Leicester, 'Rethinking Disability Representation'

Rethinking Disability Representation in Museums and Galleries

Initiated and managed by RCMG, Rethinking Disability Representation in Museums and Galleries (RDR) was a large scale, experimental project which developed new approaches to the interpretation of disability and the representation of disabled people’s lives and experiences in museums and galleries in the UK. It aimed to develop politically aware approaches to interpretation drawing on the social model of disability.
