Antarctica, the southernmost point on earth has facilitated us since the beginning. Today we‘ll be exploring the possibilities this continent holds for the disability community with the help of Director Dr. Beatrix Schlarb-Ridley of the British Antarctic Survey’s Innovations and Impact team and Professor Simon McKweon of the Teesside University’s Art Department and he was asked to become a member of Diversity in UK Polar Initiative due to the fact that he’s a Disability Champion on the EDI (External Advisory Group for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) External Advisory Board of UK Research and Innovation the BAS’s parent organisation. Dr. Schlarb-Ridley is also one of BAS’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champions. BAS is a department of Her Majesty’s Government and as a result we’ll also be talking about how the UK can be a global advocate for disability rights in the geopolitical stage.
