Liverpool Hope University Foundation Hour: From Formation to
Transformation - The Role of a University
Tackling Avoidance in the Academy
Date: May 2, 2012
Time: 1-2pm
Place: EDEN 130, Liverpool Hope University
Dr. David Bolt
Centre for Culture & Disability Studies
What is the role of a university? That is the question set for us by the
Dean of education and this paper ventures a short answer. The role of a
university is to bring together people and disciplines in the common goal
of learning, with mutual respect and a deliberate shift away from all
forms of prejudice. Positing an academic exemplar, the disciplines on
which the paper focuses are disability studies and cultural studies, and
the form of prejudice to which it refers is ableism ? that is, prejudice
specifically aimed at people who are disabled. All are welcome to attend
this Foundation Hour that sketches out a way forward for the academy that
is fully appreciative of disability.
