I am a professional at a leading university that works tirelessly for equity, diversity, and inclusion. My website www.dominatingdisability.com already hosts so many blog articles from several writers on these topics. Welcome to my channel, because together we can dominate disability.  In these podcasts we explore why diversity matters, especially in Education, and how we just aren't there yet. In higher education especially, we encounter so much diversity with so many people thinking they are around diversity that aren't. I will also delve into Australian Aboriginal culture and how we aren't around this diversity yet either.

    Based on the Creative Minds handbooks- the AI summary

    Send us a text  This handbook, a collaboration between Universal Music and Megan Rhiannon, explores neurodiversity within the creative industries, aiming to foster more inclusive workplaces. It challenges traditional definitions, such as "learning difficulties," advocating for a positive reframe of conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, and autism as unique cognitive variations rather than flaws. The text highlights how embracing diverse thinking can enhance creativity and innovation, presenting research and testimonials that underscore the benefits of a neurodiverse workforce. It offers practical recommendations for employers on how to adapt recruitment, management, and working environments to support neurodiverse individuals, ultimately striving for systemic inclusion.   #neurodiversity #dyslexia #autism #learn  Support the show Because together, we can.
