Tom Shakespeare

Tom Shakespeare

Sir Thomas William Shakespeare, 3rd Baronet (born 11 May 1966), better known as Tom Shakespeare, is a geneticist and sociologist. He has achondroplasia.

Shakespeare was educated at Pembroke College, Cambridge and gained a Master of Philosophy degree from King's College, Cambridge in 1991. Whilst a student, he featured in a television documentary about his restricted growth, along with his father, Sir William Geoffrey Shakespeare, a prominent medical practitioner. Shakespeare then lectured in sociology at the University of Sunderland from 1993 and returned to King's College in 1995 to receive his PhD. His father died in 1996 and Shakespeare inherited his baronetcy, but does not use the title. He is also a campaigner for disability rights, a writer on disability, genetics and bio-ethics and was the co-author of "The Sexual Politics of Disability" (1996 - ISBN 0-304-33329-8).

He is currently a research fellow at Newcastle University.
