Race and Resistance | Radical Reasoning | Neurodiversity & Race in HE
Friday 17 May 2024, 1.30pm - 2.30pm
2nd floor Lecture Room, Radcliffe Humanities
CANCELLED
Join us for our discussion group, Radical Reasoning. This week, we will be reviewing and analysing works surrounding neurodiversity, race, and the intersectionality of both, within UKHE as a neoliberal sector. This will lead to group discussions around accessibility, pedagogy, and inclusivity.
We ask attendees to consider the main readings. Anyone who wishes to expand upon their understanding is welcome to consider the further readings provided. Regardless of the extent to which you engage with these chosen readings, we welcome anyone who is interested to attend the discussion group.
