S2: Identity | Disability in the UK | Lucy Burke
Today on WDYTAX we're joined by Dr. Lucy Burke. Lucy is an academic at Manchester Met specialising in literary and cultural disability studies and the medical humanities. Her study explores how dementia and learning disabilities are represented across a range of literary, filmic, televisual and auto/biographical texts, and how we might draw upon ways of working in arts and humanities develop creative ways of working with disabled people and older people living with dementia.
Currently working with Access All Areas theatre company on an Arts Council England project Transforming Leadership and coming to the end of a major AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) project D4D exploring disabled people’s experiences of community.
