When and where

Date and time: Tue, 21 February 2023, 11:00 – 17:00 GMT

Location: University of Leeds Woodhouse Lane Woodhouse LS2 9JT

This will be a one-day hybrid event (both in-person and online/remote participation possible) at the University of Leeds (assuming UCU strikes do not end up changing the venue!), including:

– presentation of my research report from the project “Work without bosses, homes without landlords, and nothing about us without us: Researching disabled people’s involvement in co-operatives in the UK”

– presentations by co-ops founded by or to meet the needs of disabled people

– discussions about the potential of co-ops of various types (housing, workers, multi-stakeholder) to overcome disabling barriers

– networking space for disabled people and allies who are involved or interested in getting involved in co-ops

– hopefully practical steps towards founding some new co-ops!
