Registration for our Critical Neurodiversity Studies Conference is now open.

What to expect:

Come together with other researchers, practitioners and artists to explore a critical turn in neurodiversity theory and research across the globe, building a movement that departs from narrow, medicalised models of neurodiversity and instead centres arts, humanities, and liberatory social theory. With over twenty panels and 80 speakers, the conference marks an essential calendar event for medical humanities research.


Register for FREE to enjoy:

  • Keynote talks and performances from M. Remi Yergeau, Lisa Merri Johnson, and Daniel Oliver, and an exciting line-up of invited speakers
  • Seminars and panel discussions bringing together global perspectives of critical medical humanities, neurodiversity studies, and disability studies
  • A variety of immersive workshops, performances and paper presentations
  • Creatively facilitated networking opportunities with an interdisciplinary cohort of delegates and speakers
  • Conference dinner on the evening of Wednesday, 25 June

Vitally, our commitment to access and inclusion aims to ensure that this conference is not only rich in thought but also welcoming, comfortable, and fully accessible to all attendees. From step-free access and sensory rooms to hybrid participation and quiet spaces, we will be constantly working to create a space where everyone can meaningfully engage—on their own terms.


Who can attend?

The CNSC is fully hybrid to encourage international participation and to ensure that it remains accessible and inclusive of those who might find attending in person difficult for health, financial, caring or geographical reasons.

Attendance is free and we welcome participants from everywhere, not just those who identify as medical humanities researchers or who work within formal university structures.


How to register:

Registration for the CNSC takes place via Eventbrite. You can register for any or all days of the event – online from the comfort of your home or in-person, fully immersed in the 3-day programme. The complete confirmed schedule and timetable, along with links to virtual sessions will be circulated in due course.
