Off to the @britishlibrary with the @LBObjects team to see the Digital Storytelling exhibition. All part of our work with @BhopalMedAppeal to keep telling the stories of those still affected after nearly 40 years by the disaster. A marathon of neglect and suffering.

Medical Humanities & Disability Studies: In/Disciplines is published later this month. No book I've written was as challenging or took as much out of me, but I'm very proud of how it turned out. You can read a preview here: bloomsburycp3.codemantra.com/viewer/64dce0b… #MedicalHumanities #Disability
