    In October this year, Professor Shane Clifton wrote a piece for The Conversation titled, ‘When even fringe festival venues exclude people with disability, cities need to act on access’ after a series of accessibility issues to attend events at one of Sydney’s biggest festivals on the calendar.

    Shane is the Associate Professor of Practice, School of Health Sciences and the Centre for Disability Research and Policy, University of Sydney, and he comes on again to talk about the events that led to the article, and a much more broader conversation around whether these accessible spaces are actually accessible.

    Information in this episode:

    Shane is the Associate Professor of Practice, School of Health Sciences and the Centre for Disability Research and Policy, University of Sydney and you can listen to him on Episode 40: Faith, God, Diversity and The Journey
