Great day today at our Critical Neurodiversity Studies Conference! Highlights included a keynote from Lisa Johnson and Liorah Hoek & Sanne van Driel’s workshop on what understanding experiences of plural identities can bring to critical neurodiversity studies. The Sensory Den was also a real hit!

Liorah Hoek and Sanne van Driel smiling at the camera. They are standing in front of a PowerPoint slide in a seminar room. On half of the slide is blue and the other is white with orange and green paint splotches. On the blue slide of the slide the text reads 'The Plurality Game'.

The floor in The Sensory Den – a pop up sensory room. There are yellow and red jigsaw pieces, a red glowing stool, and three marble effect tiles in pink and orange and green and blue.

A lime green and orange lava lamp on a bench, a large cube to the right, and fibre optic tails in white/light blue on the floor.

A fan arrangement of conference programmes with abstract artwork in pink, orange, light blue and black. On the right there are white circles connected with white lines. The title on the programme reads: 'Critical Neurodiversity Studies Conference: Directions / Intersections / Contradictions, 24–26 June 2025, Durham University and Online.'
