Reflecting on Disability Futures

The itDf team have collaborated with Adarak and the BMJ: Medical Humanities journal to produce a film that focuses on the project’s work since it began in 2020, exploring our research achievements and collaborations. Made at the symposium held in Leeds in April this year, the film showcases a wide range of our activities, with contributors from across the globe discussing disability, technology, design, ethics, publishing, agency, and advocacy. Reflecting on all that we’ve learned, we also look forward, asking what successful disability futures might look like and how, as researchers and with our partners, we can contribute to this. You can find the film on YouTube and an Audio Described version is also available.

The proceedings from the symposium will be published in a Special Issue of BMJ: Medical Humanities in December this year.
