Description
Throughout November and December, UWE Bristol Library is hosting Disability History Month book giveaways, to raise awareness about disability history, issues surrounding stigma, and people's experiences of living with a disability.
We'll be hiding the giveaway books around our campuses, and we'll be posting location clues on our Instagram Stories. If you find a book, it's yours to keep. This book giveaway features Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to Be an Ally by Emily Ladau. This book will enable you to learn to appreciate and recognize, as well as appropriately think and talk about disability, therefore shaping you into an ally to disabled people, and directly contributing to making the world a more inclusive place.
