Disabled Legacies: Beyond Access and Inclusion

Disabled Legacies: Beyond Access and Inclusion
26–28 March

The Paul Mellon Centre’s What is Research Now? (WIRN) series is back for 2026.

The Spring edition of the series is titled “Disabled Legacies, Beyond Access and Inclusion”. It is led by the questions: Can the legacies of Disability Art and Culture take us beyond “access” and “inclusion”? Can Disability Justice help us create and lead all of us to live better lives?
The programme – through a series of talks, performances and workshops – will explore not only histories of Disability but ways of thriving and being, arguing that Disability Justice can be not just a subject of study but a method and mode of being.
