Rarely have I been so enriched by reading - literary criticism but make it page-turningly good. For lovers of beautifully crafted + edited prose, with deftly woven themes + insights on gender on + off the page in works including Ibsen’s plays, the Brontës + Plath #books #reading

This. It shouldn't be a guest lecture or a one-off training session or a project; universities need to be resourcing and investing in Neurodiversity Studies, and neurodivergent inclusion, for the long term.

Robert Chapman@drrobertchapman.bsky.social · 2y ago

Atm i'm being asked almost every week to give more uni talks, mainly as there are neurodivergent students interested in neurodiversity theory everywhere. It's nice to be asked, but would be much nicer if humanities departments actually advertised paid, neurodiversity themed lectureships.

Love this parable on #coproduction & really relevant to #PublicInvolvement and #CommunityEngagement too. May also be of interest to people who attended #NIHRAMC24 re: #ResearchImpact + a great example of using #CreativeMethods to share complex ideas. Thanks @ruthndwrites.bsky.social!

Ruth Naughton-Doe@ruthndwrites.bsky.social · 2y ago

Great blog post on the work that goes into good PPI work and the barriers we face. I always think of the ‘Parable of the Blobs and the Squares’ when I think of trying to involve people in our rigid systems youtu.be/eJDO1rcJbBw?...

So exciting! For those (very, very few) of us who are committed to researching with disabled girls toward social transformation these things don’t come around too often! Can’t wait to read and review this @francesryan.bsky.social

Frances Ryan@francesryan.bsky.social · 2y ago

For the evening crowd, I’m excited to show you the cover for my new book, Who Wants Normal? The Disabled Girls’ Guide to Life. Stay tuned tomorrow for the pre-order details every author must shamelessly plug.
