Opportunity to shape inclusive research Ruby Goodley (PhD researcher, University of Leeds) is seeking advisory board members for her ESRC-funded project.

PhD Project Call out: Advisory Board
Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: Ruby Goodley X: @ruby_goodley TRANSCRIPT: Hello, my name is Ruby Goodley. The purpose of this video is to display some more information about me as a researcher, why this project is exciting and important, and what I need from you as a participant in my project. I am a cisgender white woman with blonde curly hair and wearing a black tank top with tattoos visible on my arm and I'm in front of a blurred background. So a little bit about me as a researcher. I'm a second year funded PhD researcher at the University of Leeds and this project comes out of my undergraduate tutelage in social anthropology at the University of Manchester, where disability was mentioned a handful of times during the curriculum. And the absence of Disability Studies and a focus on disability in the discipline led me to interrogate where are all the disabled anthropologists. So in my own personal experience, I have a hidden impairment through my diagnosis of irritable bowel
