“They hear, but don’t listen”: Experience of disability in higher education

November 23, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Drawing on her personal experiences of ever-increasing hearing loss and her extensive research into the experience of disability, chronic illness and/or neurodivergence, Nicole Brown discusses what it means to be different in contemporary higher education. In her talk, Nicole outlines what it means to come to terms with a diagnosis on a personal level, how this impacts disclosure at the workplace and how difficult it is to navigate the spaces between neat, theoretical categories and the messiness of embodied experiences.

This event will be held online and will have live captioning. A link to the Zoom webinar will be sent to you 2 days and 2 hours before the event.
