Yas Afifi

(She/her) 2025

I am a BA Modern Languages graduate and accessibility consultant with Disabled Students UK (DSUK), about to start an MA in Comparative Literature and Critical Theories at the University of Birmingham. I was previously co-chair of the Students Association for Neurodivergence, Disability and Mental Health at the University of Birmingham and am involved in awareness and advocacy groups for individuals with Post-Covid Syndrome, ME/CFS and other post-viral conditions. I also have interests in accessibility in Higher Education and assistance dog legislation, as well as accessible travel and transport. I joined DLN because I have a passion for promoting accessibility and universal design and wanted to support their vital work.
