Last year in December, we lost the incredible Professor Anita Ghai. A foundational figure in Indian Critical Disability Studies, her work deeply shaped conversations about gender, identity, inclusion, power, culture, and activism.

Not easy raising/brainwashing a boy in Manchester as a #NFFC fan … especially during the lost years (when his mates at school didn’t know or care who we are). Days like today, seasons like this season, make it all worthwhile ❤️

@DanGoodley hi Dan. Is there any chance you could repost the link to this survey I’m doing on disability employment please? Thanks for considering this 😊
Employment survey: I am doing research into the experiences of disabled people finding work. I'm focussing on people who, like me, have a physical impairment. I would be grateful if you could consider participating in the survey, or sharing it with those who may. The survey

What a loss. Anita Satyapal Ghai was an amazing advocate of disability rights both through her research as well as through her life lived with dignity & courage. I still remember her steering her wheelchair though a crowd protesting the Delhi gang rape exactly a dozen years ago

Woman fierce, who let love flow. Her smile stretched wide, as big as the sky, a beacon of hope that will never die. Now she rests where peace abides, Hand in hand by her father’s side. Her spirit lives, both bright and free. Lost Dr. Prof. Anita Ghai 23.10.1958 - 11.12.2024
