What a Lovely two days at the DARCI (Disability, Accessibility and Representation in the Creative Industries) conference last week! It was great to hear about all the access work being undertaken in creative / culture / heritage spaces, and to present my PhD findings in full for the first time!

The busiest first week back from leave! (glasto pics added for good measure) - 1/2

The week started with a PGR conference which I had the pleasure of chairing. It was inspiring to hear all about what fellow PGRs are working on. The day was bookended by two fascinating keynotes. Plus pizza, win-win!
A female individual stands at the front of a lecture hall with a screen behind her. She is reading health and safety notices from a piece of papers and audience members are listening A two female individuals stand at the front of a lecture theatre in front of a screen which reads “including the voices of learning disabled children and young people in research”. Audience members look towards the speakers. A group of post graduate researchers and lecturers from the university of York’s department of education stand in two rows, smiling at the camera Four female individuals stand facing Glastonbury festival from the top of a hill. They all look back towards the camera, smiling

Tickets are available at eventbrite.co.uk/e/arch-semin...
We hope to see you there!
This is a poster advertising the Autism Research Seminar Series, or ARCH. This talk is called "Creative arts-based pegagogy (CABP) with autistic students: co-producing a manifesto", and is delivered by Kayleigh Doyle, a PhD student at the University of York. The talk will take place on May 28th at 2pm on Zoom. The talk abstract reads: "In this research, I explore how autistic young people and teachers feel about using the creative arts to teach autistic students in mainstream schools, and what they perceive to be barriers and facilitators. In this talk, I will briefly touch upon the findings from two systematic reviews, before discussing the findings from two empirical studies, a teacher questionnaire and student interviews. I will finish by outlining the planned next steps, a co-production workshop with the aim to develop a co-produced "creative arts-based pedagogy manifesto"."

A lovely UG3 at @uoyeducation.bsky.social is exploring how music can be used to support the well-being of autistic CYP.

If you are a parents/carer of an autistic child (age 4-16) please follow this link to the questionnaire: york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Please share with networks if you can!
Participants needed! Are you a parent/carer of an autistic child aged between 4-16 years? Do they spend time listening to or making music? Would you be willing to spend 15 minutes answering an anonymous online questionnaire about autistic children and wellbeing? As part of my dissertation, I am interested in speaking to parents/carers of autistic children about their perspectives of how music can support the wellbeing of their children. If you are willing to participate please scan this QR code or follow the link below: https://york.qualtrics.com/jfe/ form/SV_2cyFmPpFa86rSBw For more information please contact the researcher by emailing: sm3025@york.ac.uk
