Gatecrashing the Sheffield University 'Removing Barriers' PGR disability & neurodiversity conference.
@katemontaguehellen.bsky.social has put loads of work into helping the conference happen, so it's great to be able to support her.

So true! Hotdesking (and massive open plan offices) are one of the worst things to happen to the working environment.

Where universities don't support staff to be open about their own neurodiversity, it leaves neurodiverse students unable to see that they can succeed and be supported.
Whether deliberate or not, this is a conversation the uni is entering into.

We did a zine workshop as part of the #RemovingBarriers day.
Yesterday lots of people were so impressed with everything I do, but this shows the consequence of not having an off switch 😂
Spilled coffee on the floor.

Project set up an anonymous digital board but also physical postboxes where people could post drawings etc. Lots of posters etc. Around campus. Lots of engagement.
Posters talked about experiences rather than diagnoses e.g. "do you struggle with deadlines"

Since our Cohort came together at the RSC we’ve had a lot to think about.
Director Amy Leach shared this brilliant thought:
"Removing barriers doesn’t undermine the freedom and privilege to fail. In fact, it makes braver work possible."

On of the core outcomes people wanted to be "talked to, listened to, believed" - a few members of staff who do this can keep students engaged and attending.
But it needs to be more centralised so people don't have to keep advocating for themselves over and over.
