A major challenge for disabled people in Siberia is the weather, although slippery conditions are a problem for everyone, Professor Kapilevich and Dr Davletyarova discussed technologies that can help disabled people overcome these conditions and travel independently. Professor Lukianova discussed using theories of embodiment and philosophy of environment as a way to challenge the disparity of graduation levels between disabled and non-disabled students. Dr Rogotneva talked about the sociological challenges that disabled students face, barriers to equal opportunities such as the need to align curriculums between schools for disabled students with mainstream schools, and attitudinal issues on behalf of the teaching staff.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of Lancaster University, staff members with interests in Disability Studies gave presentations about their own research.
