Disability History Month (22nd Nov to 22nd Dec) Take a look at our Book Display

To mark Disability History Month (22nd Nov – 22nd Dec) we’ve created a display of titles from our collection that explore the theme of disability. You can find the display around the corner from our issue desk.

A list of the titles on display, as well as other titles in our collection on this subject, can be found here. Click on the titles in the document to view shelfmark information.

The official theme for 2017’s UK Disability History Month is Disability & Art.

The idea is to examine artists who have been disabled, artists who have featured disabled people through a social model lens but also to understand the attitudes existing at different times over history towards disabled people through their portrayal in art.
