Here is a new blog post from Debbie Riby Amy Pearson & Jessica Hirst on neurodiversity-affirmative PhD supervision as a guest post for the ‘Supervising PhDs’ blog led by Kay Guccione 👇👇 supervisingphds.wordpress.com/2024/07/29/dev…

Really useful blog post on neuro-affirmitive PhD supervision. Lots of useful advice there for supervisors. I also want to highlight the stat in this article, which shows only a third of disabled PhD students felt they had equal footing compared to non-disabled PhD students.

Really thoughtful piece by an A-level student👇

Excellent piece on #MFL - esp. the need to "change the narrative & inspire more people to learn languages by highlighting both the benefits & the joy it brings". This drives evth The Queen's Translation Exchange & Stephen Spender Trust - showing [not telling] young people that languages are awesome🤩

Really enjoyed speaking alongside Dr Claire Amanda Ross, Dr Eleoma Bodammer, SFHEA & Dr Ben Schofield on our panel on #neurodiversity in German literature & culture at this year's AGS conference! Next up: German Studies Association conference in Atlanta, where I'll be speaking on the neurodiversity roundtable.
