Enabling University book launch at CSU in Bathurst

16 MARCH 2015

A new book about how to make higher education institutions open, accessible and socially just for staff and students with disabilities will be launched at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Bathurst on Tuesday 17 March. Professor Tara Brabazon, Head of the CSU School of Teacher Education, will launch her latest book, Enabling University: Impairment, (dis)ability and social justice in higher education. Professor Brabazon said, "The key concept of Enabling University is 'universal design', a term and theory used to move beyond the medical and social model of disability that disconnect and separate the issues of disability and impairment from core societal concerns. There must be a renewed commitment to not only the widening participation agenda of higher education, but also the enabling of universities for men and women with impairments." The launch of Enabling University is at 2pm Tuesday 17 March in the courtyard between Allen House (building 1431) and the Ponton Theatre (building 1434).
