Save Disability Studies At University Of Manchester!

November 21, 2013

Students at the University of Manchester have started a petition to bring back disability studies after it was scrapped by the uni. According the the Mancunion student paper, the course will continue at the Manchester Institue of Education, but students are worried it won’t be as in-depth as the degree.

In an open letter to the Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People, lecturer Barbara Perry says: “I am extremely concerned over the recent closure of the learning disability studies programme at the University of Manchester. This is a unique and innovative degree programme which includes disabled adults at the core of its work.”

    Good luck with the petition! Of course disability studies should be brought back. Why was it scrapped in the first place?
