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 Strangers Assume My Girlfriend Is My Nurse by Shane Burcaw. Both hilariously funny and extremely eye-opening, Shane Burcaw highlights his experience of disability through humour. It's got strange stories, funny anecdotes and enough awkward interactions for a lifetime.
