Research interests
My research interests focus on the experiences of neurodivergent students, particularly within a higher education context. I was part of a project that co-produced a training course, with autistic students, for university staff members.
I am interested in the lived experience of neurodivergent people and community-led approaches to support, as well as helping to reduce stigma within HE settings.
