Foreword from Indie Beedie, UCL Disability Equality Envoy and Co-Chair of UCL's Disability Equity Steering Group, and Suzanna Chen, Disabled Students' Officer at Students' Union UCL. UK Disability History Month (UKDHM) is a time to recognise that disability is a natural part of human existence and diversity, and that negative connotations and limitations associated with disabilities are manifestations of inaccessible environments and socially created oppression.
