Call for Participants: PhD research on intersectionality of neurodivergence and gender in teamworking environments

My PhD research explores the intersectionality of neurodivergence and gender in teamworking environments, focusing on research teams within UK academia. I am currently looking for people interested to participate in my main study. This involves a semi-structured interview of approx. 60 minutes and a short pre-interview questionnaire. All gender identities are welcome, this research is trans and non-binary inclusive and values diverse perspectives and experiences. You do not need to have disclosed your neurodivergence to anyone in your team.

Criteria to participate:

  1. You work in an academic research team in the UK
  2. AND you identify as neurodivergent (incl. autism, ADHD, Tourette’s Syndrome, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia). Medical and self-diagnosis welcome.

How do you benefit from participating?

  • you take an active role in knowledge building on neurodivergence and gender
  • you contribute to identifying ways to make research more inclusive
  • it is an opportunity to openly talk about your experiences, good and bad, in an anonymised way!

How to take part:

If you are interested in participating, are not sure if you meet the criteria, or would like to find out more, please get in touch with me via email: L.Biermann@hw.ac.uk
