DESCRIPTION:In this fourth talk of our seminar series on ‘Building Capac
 ity on disability in low- and middle-income countries’\, Professor Nora 
 Groce and Dr Maria Kett\, Leonard Cheshire Disability and Inclusive Develo
 pment Centre\, UCL\, will ask the question:\n\nHow can research contribute
  to building capacity on disability in the developing world?\n\nProfessor 
 Groce and Dr Kett will discuss some of the ways in which they consider tha
 t research has actively contributed to building capacity on disability amo
 ngst researchers and practitioners in high and lower income countries. The
 y will speak about their experiences of leading a number of disability-foc
 used research grants\, and how disability research has gradually come into
  the mainstream\; as well as the ways in which researchers – as well as 
 advocates and practitioners - have had to adapt to this inclusion. Thanks 
 in part to a shifting global context\, including a human rights-based agen
 da and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2008)\, 
 disability issues have become more visible in mainstream development resea
 rch. This is not without a number of challenges\, not least an inherently 
 politicised agenda on behalf of some groups\; variations in social and cul
 tural contexts and understandings of disability\; lack of agreed or unifie
 d positions on definitions – all of which have led to challenges in data
  collection and a lack of data – or rather\, a lack of evidence-based\, 
 robust data that is accepted and agreed by the range of impairment groups.
  These challenges themselves raise a number of questions. The presentation
  will discuss the challenges of building the capacity of researchers and o
 ther stakeholders to mainstream disability across a range of approaches an
 d practices.\n\nTime: 5pm – 6.30pm\nDate: Tuesday\, 31th May 2016\nLocat
