Demands for excellence and efficiency have created an ableist culture in academia. What impact do these expectations have on disabled, chronically ill and neurodivergent colleagues?
Using ‘lived experience’ first-hand accounts, Lived Experiences of Ableism in Academia: Strategies for Inclusion in Higher Education illuminates the complex and often shocking experience
of combining the aspirations and demands of academic life with the stigma of managing disability and chronic illness.
The online book launch event will take place on Thursday, 1st of July from 11 to 12.30 British Summer Time.
