You’re right – there’s definitely support for colleagues in creating a disability-inclusive environment.

Thanks for sharing your post in response to the role of Advance HE.

For example, what’s your view on the anti-racism training at UAL?

I had no idea of your expertise in mindfulness meditation. I’m curious if/how you bring ideas of mindfulness and/or religious inclusion into your teaching?
