We were thrilled to meet Warda at the Critical Neurodiversity Studies conference last summer and are just as excited for this new, important book.
Are we nurturing a person’s capacity to express their truth or gently steering them toward an institutional ideal of what normal speech/language/communication should be? 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿

What forms of inclusion and exclusion does neurodiversity perform as a concept, field, and movement? How may lines of queer, trans, crip, decolonial, posthumanist, or Mad thinking shake up and overspill the conventional boundaries of neurodiversity?
Please join us for this important discussion! 🔥

The “Science of Reading” isn’t science—it’s a marketing slogan used to enshrine phonics-based instruction into law. This article explores how GLPs are excluded, remediated, and monetised by an industry built on enclosure.

Our leadership member, Daniel, has written this excellent article which reflects on matters of meaningful inclusion when organising and/or facilitating academic events.
Just published: Inclusion and Sharing Best Practice for Academic Events Facilitation ✨

The sharing of best practice is, and always will be, more important than competing for institutional accessibility accreditations!
