Finding Strength Beyond Academia

Dr. Erica McIntyre describes her experiences as an “ADHD’er” academic, her research of Australian academics with ADHD, and neurodivergence in academia more broadly. Erica defines neurodivergence and ADHD, explains how academic institutions could better support neurodivergent academics, and shows how institutional environments more supportive of neurodivergence would support all academics more effectively. We also talk about the individual zone of influence and the importance of creating traction on a small scale so that large-scale movements may be realized. Find Dr. Erica McIntyre on LinkedIn.
