Inclusive spaces for neurodivergent/neurominority students in higher education

Whelan, Jamie

Abstract

Due to the epistemic, hermeneutical injustice of neurodivergent voices, inclusive language to express and interpret experiences has been excluded from centres of language generation (higher education, journalism, and governance). Through the use of the neurodiversity paradigm, this session aims to broaden understanding of neurodiversity, and how to use this social justice movement to position difference as exceptionality, to impact systematic change for neurodivergent students to thrive, and not merely survive.
