All Things Mental Health
From Neuroscience to Neuroinclusion, via Pedagogical Partnerships
This week, neurodivergent Coventry University student Elizabeth Mullenger discusses inclusion, adaptation and misconception with Anne-Laure Le Cunff, a PhD candidate from the ADHD research lab at King’s College London. Elizabeth’s interest in neurodivergence stems from her own experience of attending university whilst living with borderline personality disorder; navigating barriers and exploring new learning opportunities.
Elizabeth and Anne-Laure now both work in student participation and collaboration, at Oxford Brookes and King’s College London respectively. In this episode, they discuss personal and student experiences of inclusive, and exclusive, pedagogical environments; sharing simple adaptations that can facilitate learning for every student.
Referencing Anne-Lure’s current participatory research project, the duo discuss the importance of student participation in course design, education and research. Finally, they share their thoughts on what could make the biggest impact towards supporting, including and empowering students and HEI staff with learning differences.
Thanks for listening!
