Autonomy, Community, Destiny: Re-Imagining Disability

The second seminar in the Disability and Curriculum Diversity
series at TORCH The second seminar in the Disability and Curriculum
Diversity series at TORCH with Elizabeth Frood (Associate Professor
of Egyptology, Oxford), Dom Hyams (Producer and Editor-in-Chief,
Power100) and Marie Tidball (Research Associate in Law, Oxford) .
Professor Elizabeth Frood speaks on the way her own acquired
disability has had an impact on re-framing how she does fieldwork
and how this has led her to adapt the methodologies she uses as an
Egyptologist. Entrepreneur, Television Presenter and Editor of
Power 100, Dom Hyams speaks on the potential role of the AssistMi
app and other assistive technology you work with, could have on
revolutionising research, which not only makes fieldwork more
accessible for disabled people but enables them as researchers to
access important data which benefits academia more generally. This
event was chaired by Dr Marie Tidball.
