Join us online for Disability and the Archives: Access, Absences and Action, a two-day virtual conference hosted by Shakespeare’s Globe from 23–24 January 2026.
This interdisciplinary event will examine how disabled lives have been recorded, obscured, or erased across literary, performance, and institutional records. The programme includes talks, panels, and time for shared reflection, with a focus on inclusive and ethical approaches to archival practice.
There will be BSL and ASL Interpreters and live captioning throughout both days of this event.
