Notts Psych Pod is a podcast series from the School of Psychology at the University of Nottingham. In our first series, we spotlight neurodiversity research conducted at the University.
Each episode features researchers discussing their cutting-edge work on the societal barriers faced by neurodivergent individuals, the consequences of these barriers, and how their research aims to create a more inclusive society. Importantly, we include the voices of those with lived experience of neurodiversity, sharing how these issues impact their everyday lives.
In the School of Psychology, we adopt the "Social Model of Disability," which views society as the disabling factor and emphasizes the removal of societal barriers to achieve inclusivity. Our series will explore various obstacles that neurodivergent people encounter, which often go unnoticed by neurotypical individuals.
To complement each episode, we provide short briefs summarizing the research and offering "calls to action" to promote meaningful change.
Our podcast series will cover very real and very important issues, shedding light on the significant research at the University of Nottingham and aiming to inspire policymakers to implement changes that improve the lives of the neurodivergent community.
