In collaboration with the Disabled Staff Group: The race to end stigma with Dr Gayle Brewer.
About the event: Dr Gayle Brewer is Senior Lecturer, Quality Lead, and Year 3 Coordinator in the Department of Psychology at the University of Liverpool. As an Ed.D student at the University of Chester, Dr Brewer’s current research focuses on the lived experiences of female academics with long-term health conditions, specifically, those with conditions that impact on energy levels and / or cognitive function. We are delighted to welcome Dr Brewer to talk more about this fascinating area of research and the findings and emerging themes and answer any questions you may have.
In addition, Dr Brewer will discuss her forthcoming book entitled ‘Disability in Higher Education: Investigating Identity, Stigma, and Disclosure Amongst Academics.’
Who the event is aimed at: This event will be of interest to managers, academics of all levels and students who are enrolled on courses that relate to education or disability studies, but is open to anyone with an interest in this area.
What you will gain from attending: A greater understanding of the challenges facing those with long-term health conditions, and more information to enable you to better support staff, colleagues and students.
