✍️ In 2020 I applied for DSA, to ensure I received the support I needed to access my degree
❌ But from step 1, I found the system to be completely flawed
✊ @OxfordStudents must stand up for disabled students at every stage

As an @LSEnews student, I’d love to study in the new Marshall Building — but when I tried to enter today & yesterday, the wheelchair accessible door was locked.
It’s been 12yrs since the Equality Act, & LSE still can’t wrap it’s head around disabled students entering buildings.

Let’s talk about ableism in education! [a thread🧵⬇️]:
As someone who has graduated with a 2:1 in English at a Russell Group University and then proceeded to work in my student union for a year, I have experienced MANY barriers when it came to accessing my education.

We will continue to push for a more accessible education system, attempt to dismantle systemic ableism and provide disabled students with a safe and friendly community all year round.

It was brilliant for our Editor @_DanniWatts to get the opportunity to chat to @itslaurenrowles at todays ACCEPT event run by @Clifford_Chance - a great opportunity to learn about and discuss the often overlooked intersection between disability and LGBTQ identities.
