Join Jamie Shields (He/Him) as he delves into the concept of internalised ableism and its manifestation in our daily lives.
Drawing from his personal experiences as a registered blind person with AuDHD, Jamie engages with the Neurodivergent Network and Disabled Staff Network at the University of Manchester to shed light on how internalised ableism impacts individuals and communities. Discover actionable steps to challenge preconceptions, foster inclusivity and cultivate understanding in our shared spaces.
This talk welcomes members, allies, and anyone interested in gaining insights into neurodivergence and the diverse lived experiences of neurodivergent and disabled individuals.
Jamie’s talk will last for approximately 60 minutes, and there will then be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions following the talk.
The talk will be recorded for distribution, and an option to register for the recording only is available.
