The ‘You Can’t Ask That’ event is where all the awkward, politically-incorrect and plain curious questions that you might have about disability will be asked and answered. Questions will be submitted anonymously in advance and answered live by a panel of Scholars of mixed abilities. We promise questions will be anonymous, articulate and all levels of awkward, with answers equally frank, fearless and insightful.
