Are you interested in making university a more welcoming place for students with disabilities? Would you be willing to participate in student-led research on this topic?
If so, please take part in a five-minute online survey and/or a more in-depth online or in-person interview (according to your preference).
"My name is Rosie and I am an undergraduate student working with the Social Mobility Student Research Hub to conduct a research project and report my findings back to the university. My study is focused on awareness, accessibility, and support for undergraduate students with hidden* disabilities in the University environment, including, for example, in seminars, societies, student accommodation, and any other areas you feel are relevant. The survey is fully online, open to all, and should take no longer than 5-10 minutes.
The interviews are open to anyone who self-identifies as disabled, as we are looking to speak to people with lived experience of disability. Conversations should last for around 45 minutes-1 hour and will be conducted online or in-person (according to your preference) individually with the researcher and a moderator. They will be semi-structured, so led in part by issues that you feel are relevant.
This is your chance to contribute to future action by the University and create a more inclusive culture for the undergraduate community.
If you would like to discuss anything included in this email, please contact me at Rosie.Duffy@warwick.ac.uk"
