Disability History Month recognises the history, struggles and progress of people with disabilities, celebrating joy, resilience, and community — a time to honour disabled voices, stories, and achievements across King’s and beyond.
This year, Disability History Month runs from 20 November to 20 December, and covers World AIDS Day (1 December), International Day of People with Disabilities (3 December) and Human Rights Day (10 December).
This year’s theme is Disability, Life and Death, highlighting both the struggles disabled people face to access adjustments and live with dignity but also, the prevalence of decisions being made about us, without us, and of the forced sterilisation and killing of disabled people throughout history.
Between 20 November and 20 December, we’ll be hosting a range of open and accessible events where everyone is welcome to learn, support, and celebrate together.
Our Special Collaboration
Every year, we honour and celebrate the disabled community at King's and beyond in collaboration with the KCSLU Disabled Students’ Network, a partnership of KCLSU Societies brought together to improve the lives of disabled students at King’s College London, and Adjust KCL.
Join them at the Disability Film Club screening of A Different Man (2024).
