Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre: Book Launch

We are launching two books that SMRC members are involved in as authors and editors:

• It Takes All Kinds of Minds: Fostering Neurodivergent Thriving at School

– edited by Rachael Davis, Claire O’Neill, and Sue Fletcher-Watson, and published by Routledge.

• Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction

– written by Robert Chapman and Sue Fletcher-Watson, and published by Oxford University Press.

You can read more about the books below. The book launch is free to attend and open to all. At the launch there will be the opportunity to learn about how these books built on previous work of the SMRC and its partner charity Mindroom, to listen to extracts from the books read by authors and editors, as well as a panel discussion and a chance to meet the authors and editors. Refreshments will be served.

About the books:

It Takes All Kinds of Minds: Fostering Neurodivergent Thriving at School

“It Takes All Kinds of Minds provides an inspiring and accessible introduction to neurodiversity in educational settings, informed by research and real-world experience. Drawing upon core principles that underpin the neurodiversity paradigm, the book offers a carefully curated collection of chapters exploring many different kinds of minds and how they can best learn and flourish at school.”

Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction

“This Very Short Introduction looks at how neurodiversity has been understood in a variety of settings including education, research, workplace, health and social care, and criminal justice. Robert Chapman and Sue Fletcher-Watson also draw out interesting connections to models of disability, human rights, anti-capitalism, and intersectionality. Alongside this, they discuss how issues of gender, sexuality, neuroqueering, and decoloniality bear on neurodiversity.”
