Raquel Velho, a doctoral student at University College London in the field of Science and Technology Studies is planning to do PhD research on wheelchair users and London public transport

The work she is undertaking investigates the relationship between wheelchair users and London public transport, and the tactics these users adopt to navigate this network.

It asks, “How do wheelchair users find ways of using the London public transport system so as to better fit their capabilities?” To collect information, she would like to interview a wide range of wheelchair users to ask them how they experience public transport in London. 

The interview would last approximately 1 hour, and can happen at a convenient location to you.

If you are be willing to volunteer, could you please email her at raquel.velho.12@ucl.ac.uk.
