As @DisabilityIncl1 is entering its final (for now!) phase, a reminder of the work which sparked it all. This particular slide was of particular interest. If the image below is inaccessible to you please drop me a DM and I can send over the presentation.
My presentation is still a work in progress - here's a sample slide: The ideal academic #Disability #academia

Great insight from Rory Duncan @UKRI_News - we don’t have sufficient understanding of gatekeeping for career opportunities into universities #DISCSummer21 @DisabilityIncl1

Great point from @Rob_MacIntosh - Changing the ways we go about meetings, and information could help to positively normalise and equalise people's experience at work, as we’ve learned from covid #DISCSummer21 @DisabilityIncl1 @heriotwatt_soss 👌🏾
