About this Event
Speaker: Cora Beth Fraser (The Open University)
The social model of disability describes people as being disabled by barriers in society, rather than by our own impairment or difference. Barriers can be physical, practical, structural, social or conceptual.
But barriers aren’t always negative. Some we choose to build ourselves, for very good reasons.
This talk will explore the imagery of barriers and walls, looking at how they are associated with neurodivergent – and particularly autistic – people, both in teaching and learning and in popular culture. How do we differentiate between barriers and boundaries? When does ‘inclusion’ become a trap? And how does environment shape our experience of neurodivergent anxiety, even online?
