UCL Anthropology will be hosting a half-day workshop featuring anthropological research on lived experiences of Disability covering a vast number of contexts throughout the Global South. The goal of the half-day event is to foster discussion and further develop our burgeoning collaborative network of anthropologists working on questions of disability and alterity.
