Neurodiversity is More Than...

This event brings together academics, independent researchers and lived-experience activists from across the globe to chart new possibilities with and beyond the neurodiversity concept.

What forms of inclusion and exclusion does neurodiversity perform as a concept, as a field, and as a movement? How may lines of queer, trans, crip, decolonial, posthumanist, or Mad thinking shake up and overspill the conventional boundaries of neurodiversity? How may the perspective of the more-than contribute to a radical expansion of neurodiversity beyond autism, the human, and the Global North? How can the disciplinary perspectives of literature, anthropology, sociology, or philosophy be brought together with activist practice to shape the critical neurodiversity studies that is so urgently needed today?

This online event is open to all members of the Neurodivergent Humanities Network, as well as members of the public.
