Have you ever come across tips about scholarly productivity that don't seem to work for you? Looking for additional ideas that can leverage your unique strengths around scholarship? Join this roundtable discussion informed by a neuro-affirming approach to scholarship that will enable all faculty to discover tools and strategies that support our goals.
This roundtable is part of the CFI’s neuroaffirming series: The CFI values the diversity within the neurodiversity community, and recognizes that individuals bring different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and contributions. In collaboration with faculty, we acknowledge the need for opportunities to celebrate the contributions of neurodivergent individuals and the neurodiverse community and create greater access and inclusion. We invite you to join us in our explorations, whether you identify as neurodivergent, diverse, an accomplice or ally, or want to learn more. These opportunities will explore sustainable and equitable approaches to teaching, learning, scholarship, careers, and wellness and well-being with a focus on faculty.
