Dr Marie Tidball, Co-ordinator, The Oxford University Disability Law and Policy Project
The Oxford Disability Law and Policy Conference will launch the Oxford University Disability Law and Policy Project. This project has been established to develop initiatives which bring new perspectives to academic analyses of law and policy, and to generate policy-relevant research which better engages with the intersectional experiences of people with disabilities. It is also intended that in addition to these specific academic aims, the objectives for expanding the substantive discussion of disability in the University’s teaching and research will also have a filter-down effect: improving the accessibility of facilities for students and academics with disabilities, enabling our increased representation, career progression, success and inclusion in the University's academic life.

To achieve these purposes, the Institute hopes to integrate existing human rights research and practice within the Law Faculty and also hopes to host a cohort of outstanding visiting scholars and practitioners, and to collaborate with human rights scholars in other disciplines and with legal practitioners engaged in human rights work across the world.
