Irvine Memorial Lecture

The Irvine Memorial Lecture

‘Disability:
what it is, and why it
concerns everyone.'

Professor Tom Shakespeare CBE FBA
Professor of Disability Research
London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine

This talk will contrast traditional and social understandings of
disability. Tom will explore what the evidence tells about disabled
people, at home and abroad. He will emphasize that we can all
collaborate on building a less disabling world.
