  • Book of Abstracts
    Centre for Disability Studies Postgraduate Conference 2019 Disability Studies: Past, Present and Future Book of abstracts CDS Leeds #CDSPGConf19 1 Keynote Presentation by Professor Roger Slee Title: Writing fiction – the case of inclusive education and students with disabilities. Notwithstanding espoused commitment to UNCRPD (2006) by education jurisdictions around the world, the educational experiences of children and young people with disabilities do not live up to the promise of inclusive education. Recent reviews of education for students with disabilities in Australia collectively build a narrative of exclusion. Educational exclusion is a stubborn foe. This address will attempt to move beyond critique to identify levers for building the capacity of schools to build inclusive educational cultures. Biography: Roger Slee is the Vice-Chancellor’s appointment to Chair of Education at the University of South Australia. He has previously held research chairs at The University of Western Australia, Goldsmiths College University of London, Victoria University and the Institute of Education UCL where he was the Chair of Inclusive Education. Roger is the former Dean of Education at Goldsmiths, The University of Western Australia and Magill. He holds an honorary chair in critical studies in education at The University of Auckland in New Zealand. He is currently working on major inclusive education projects in Ethiopia and Queensland. Roger is the Founding Editor of the International Journal of Inclusive Education and is on the Editorial Boards of many other journals. He is also the Editor of an important book series published by Sense Publishers. This Series ‘Studies in Inclusive Education’ focuses on the ways in which schools contribute to the failure of different student identities on the basis of gender, race, language, sexuality, disability, socio-economic status and geographic isolation.

  • Black Sticks Named for Oceania Olympic Qualifier in Hobart
    21 September, 2011 Media release Black Sticks named for Oceania Olympic Qualifier in Hobart The Black Sticks national coaches have named their teams for the 2011 Oceania Olympic Qualifier to be played in Hobart from 6-9 October, 2011. The Oceania region has two Olympic allocations courtesy of world rankings for both men and women and with Fiji having pulled out it gives Australia and New Zealand automatic qualification to the London Olympics. The qualifier will now be a three test series between the two rival teams. The national coaches say the qualifier will be more about getting further test experience against Australia and gaining valuable world ranking points. Black Sticks Women’s coach Mark Hager has named an experienced team, selecting the same 18 players who beat Australia in pool play and went on to win bronze at the 2011 Champions Trophy in July in Amsterdam. “This will be a hard fought series against a top team - there is so much rivalry between these two sides. With us ranked sixth and Australia ranked seventh, we will need to win the series in order to hold our position,” says Hager. Black Sticks Men’s coach Shane McLeod has chosen a very experienced men’s team with players like Phil Burrows, Blair Hopping and Dean Couzins – all who rack up a total 730 test caps. This will be the opportunity to take on world champions Australia, which will be invaluable in their build up to the Champions Trophy being held at North Harbour in early December. “This Olympic qualifier forms a key component of our preparation towards Champions Trophy and will allow us to test our game against a world champion, gold medal team.

  • Gaza Truce Collapses; Death Toll

Renewed Israeli shelling killed more than 50 Palestinians and wounded some 220, hospital officials said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called his security cabinet into special session and publicly warned Hamas and other mili- tant groups they would “bear the consequences of their actions”. The 72-hour break announced by US Secretary of State John Kerry and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was the most ambitious attempt so far to end more than three weeks of fight- ing, and followed mounting international alarm over a rising Palestinian civilian death toll. Kerry called on Hamas, which has neither confirmed nor denied it is holding the soldier, to release him immediately and unconditionally. He said he had asked Qatar, which is close to Hamas, and Turkey to help free him. “We have urged them, implored them, to use their influence to do whatever they can to get that soldier returned,” a senior State Department official told reporters travelling with Kerry. “Absent that, the risk of this continuing to escalate, leading to further loss of life is very high.” Ban condemned Hamas’s report- ed violation of the ceasefire and demanded the release of the soldier.
