In this hybrid event, Prof. Campos Pinto will begin by tracing the emergence and development of disability in the international human rights agenda - from the celebration of the International Decade for Disabled People in the 1980s up until the adoption of the CRPD in 2006.

Next, she will explore the key features of the human rights model of disability: dignity, respect for human diversity, agency and participation. Finally, she will discuss how taking the human rights approach seriously fundamentally changes the way we do research, policy and practice.
