Easy Read: Call for Disabled People from Global Majority Backgrounds to Take Part in Research Workshops

The full version of this article, which includes an audio recording of the article, is available here.

The image features an abstract background of swirling purple, blue, and turquoise hues, resembling fluid art. Overlaying the background is bold white text that reads: “EXPERIENCES OF DISABLED PEOPLE FROM GLOBAL MAJORITY BACKGROUNDS.” The design creates a visually striking and uplifting tone, drawing attention to the focus on inclusion and community for Disabled people from Black and racialised groups.
A graphic features the phrase “WE ARE THE PEOPLE” in bold, uppercase yellow letters, set inside a solid purple circle. The background outside the circle is bright yellow.
We Are The People

are inviting Disabled people to take part in an exciting research project!

We Are The People are a small group of Disabled academics and non-disabled allies.

They are looking for people from Black, Asian, and other racial or ethnic backgrounds to take part.

The research project will focus on art and creative writing.

hree people are standing together in a community setting. On the left, a man is seated in a power wheelchair, smiling and wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. In the centre, a woman is standing, wearing a purple cardigan and a floral skirt. On the right, a man in a suit jacket and tie is smiling with his hands in his pockets. Behind them, there is a tree, a residential house, and a large historic building, possibly a cathedral. The background is digitally edited and stylised.

The research project will focus on creating a strong community, challenging colonial practices, and use ideas about treating disabled equally.

Colonial practices are the things done by one group or country to control and take over another group or country.

There will be three weekly sessions.

An analogue clock showing the time as 12:10, with the hour hand pointing to 12 and the minute hand pointing to 2. A shaded turquoise section between 12 and 2 highlights a 2-hour segment on the clock face.

All the sessions will be two hours long.

A calendar page for January, displaying all 31 days. The month name “January” is in bold black text at the top, and the days of the month are arranged in a grid below. The calendar has a red header and spiral binding at the top.
A calendar page for February, displaying all 28 days. The month name “February” is in bold black text at the top, and the days of the month are arranged in a grid below. The calendar has a red header and spiral binding at the top.

The sessions will be during January and February 2024.

Please apply if you are from a global majority background, are interested in art, creative writing, and want to build a friendly community which is focused on making things fairer for everyone.

For each session you go to, you will get a £40 voucher of your choice.

The logo of Bath Spa University features the university’s name written in white capital letters against a solid dark blue background. “BATH” appears on the top, “SPA” in the middle, and “UNIVERSITY” at the bottom, arranged in a modern, elegant typeface.

This research project is supported by We Are The People at Bath Spa University.

It focuses on voices from different backgrounds and encourages fair and creative conversations.

For further information and to express interest in joining, visit We Are The People – Bath Spa University.

An analogue clock showing the time as 2:50, with the hour hand pointing to 2 and the minute hand pointing to 10. In front of the clock is a red triangular warning sign with a bold white exclamation mark, indicating a “time-out” or alert.
