Neurodivergence and Critical Disability Theory

This session offers a timely and reflective opportunity to explore disability and neurodivergence within the voice teaching studio.  Grounded in the field of critical disability studies, it will be of particular interest to voice professionals who wish to foster a more inclusive, reflexive and accessible practice.

We will explore how ideas about disability and ability have developed over time, and how these ideas have shaped approaches to voice teaching.  You will learn about the history of disability, the disability rights movements of the 20th century, and contemporary frameworks such as disability justice, DisCrit, crip theory, and the concepts of misfitting and neuroqueer.  These will provide a foundation for thinking critically about voice pedagogy, and imagining and developing more equitable approaches to teaching and learning.

Throughout the course, you will be invited to engage in critical reflection and discussion. You will be supported in developing practical strategies and resources that align with inclusive and anti-ableist pedagogical values, with a view to applying these in your own professional context.
