Über diesen Titel

This podcast episode features a discussion on disability inclusion at the University of Manchester, hosted by Professor Jackie Carter with guests Dr. Jessica Boland and Professor Richard Jones. The conversation focuses on the importance of recognizing hidden disabilities and fostering an inclusive environment in academia.

Dr Jessica Boland, a senior lecturer in the Department of Materials, discusses her work with functional materials and her experience as a hard-of-hearing individual. She emphasizes that her disability does not define her and believes the focus should be on societal change rather than personal limitations.

Professor Richard Jones, Vice President for Regional Innovation and Civic Engagement, shares his background in materials physics and innovation policy. He expresses his commitment to supporting disabled staff and students and contributing to societal change through the university's outreach efforts.
