Invitation to CUNY Neurodiversity Conference: 3/27 (in person) and 4/17 (online)

[Kristen Gillespie]

Hi everyone,

Registration for the CUNY Neurodiversity Conference, which is focused on neurodivergent joy this year, is now open: https://cunysps.swoogo.com/cunyneuro26?ref=PER&i=b2dvQqtNT-QI3q6A8Y4qWCz7zWF8YG19

There will be an in-person day (3/27), with the brilliant Juliette Gudknecht as the keynote, and an online day (4/17); the online keynote is one of my favorite collaborators, Dr. Vikram Jasawal of UVA, who does groundbreaking work focused on nonspeaking autistic people. 

The sessions throughout each day are also stellar, as we had an outpouring of interest in the conference theme. 

So, please register promptly and share this call with anyone in your networks who might be interested, particularly students if you teach, as registration might fill up. 

There is also a neurodiversity focused event at the College of Staten Island, on 3/19, where Dr. Laura Wernicke will talk about 'Transforming Social Work Academia and Higher Education to Align with Disability Justice Principles.'- flier attached.

Cheers,

Kristen
