As well as our usual AGM business, we will have a guest speaker - Sarah Stephenson-Hunter from Simply Equality.
About Sarah
My name is Sarah Stephenson-Hunter and I’m a totally blind woman with a trans history.
I’ve spent the past 20+ years working with and advocating for the needs of people with a range of physical, sensory and mental health issues as well as those with long-term medical conditions.
I came out as trans in 2013 and since then have been a passionate advocate, campaigner, trainer and speaker on the everyday issues faced by trans people in all walks of life.
I’ve made a conscious decision to be as open and honest as I can be about my own experiences of being disabled and LGBT+ and I hope that by doing so I can go some way to breaking down barriers that still exist for people in either or both communities.
I have considerable experience of working within the Higher Education sector having worked at Nottingham Trent University, the University of Birmingham, the University of Nottingham and currently the University of Oxford.
