Dr Jo Murphy	Committee member and Lecturer in Criminology	"To learn more about other people's experiences, so that we can progress and ensure that everyone has equal access to opportunities, regardless of their background."
Dr Lucy Neville	Committee member and Lecturer in Criminology	"I want every student and employee at UoL to enjoy the same access and comfort within academia as I am fortunate enough to."
Stephanie Orswell	Committee member and PhD student	"Because it's relevant to me, as someone who has an invisible disability, and my research involving people with learning difficulties and disabilities"
Emily Wertans	Committee member and PhD student	"Without representation of all voices, meaningful progress will always be limited. University can feel daunting for disabled students, however our Committee strives for change, addresses support needs and serves as a reminder that disability has a place in Criminology and Leicester."
