Thank you @GDIHub for the opportunity to write a piece that explores How we might ‘design in’ safe and restorative places to land, as we emerge from lockdown/pandemic restrictions and more. #disabilityinclusion #neurodiversity #lockdown #mentalhealth
How can we ‘design in’ safe & restorative places? How can we overcome attitudinal barriers as we emerge from pandemic restrictions? What's the scope for change? Equalities Designer & researcher @Trottykins elaborates on these questions in this blog post ⤵️

If your feminist activism does not actively support the safety, happiness, and well-being of transgender women, then your tweets about International Women's Day are hypocritical and, frankly, embarrassing.

Any individual quantifiable metric will be too shallow when it comes to urban planning. One great reason for why we need #OpenPlanning and for planners to get involved in #DigitalPlanning & #PlanTech.

If you want the Neurodiverse Talent in your Organisation to feel like they belong, you need to look at the Sensory Environment of your Space. This means considering things lighting, layouts and quiet spaces. It involves opening a d…lnkd.in/esVRfAJ lnkd.in/ezfv3nA

It's possible to be a "serious researcher" and:
-jump up and down at an exciting result
-tell a funny story or joke in your seminar
-care about the people you do research with
Bringing your real self to your research means you care, not that you're not rigorous.

Doctoral programs should have a course on pedagogy, including guidance on how to create a syllabus and an inclusive classroom environment.

Australia’s laws are out of step with international human rights standards, and out of step with the rest of the world. Instead of incarceration, there should be alternative, health and welfare-based responses says @thelawcouncil. #RaiseTheAge
Children as young as 10 are still to be considered criminally responsible, following yesterday’s decision by the Council of Attorneys-General to defer consideration of the proposal to #RaiseTheAge of criminal responsibility for at least twelve months - lawcouncil.asn.au/media/medi…

I spoke with space legends @karlie_moon_ and @AstroKirsten about Australia's contribution to discoveries in space, and the systemic issues behind why Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge is so readily consumed, but not meaningfully included.

Faculty, if a student tells you they are struggling with their mental health, some good responses are:
-your well-being is the most important thing
-take the time that you need
-what can I do to support you?
Your response should generally not include the word “productivity.”

Embracing Indigenous science can start today by doubling long term $$ for both Indigenous Protected Areas & Indigenous Ranger jobs. A permanent operationally funded presence to deal with fire, ferals, weeds, special sites & much more. Good for nature and people. #Budget2020
Exclusive: Former ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said the horror Black Summer bushfires showed indigenous science should be embraced, after handing down a scathing review of the nation’s 20-year-old environmental legislation. @australian #auspol theaustralian.com.au/nation/…

Architectural critic @kimmelman revises his praise of an inaccessible public library: "The question I wish I’d asked...is one that architects and designers might ask themselves more often today. @besswww tweeted it when the library opened: “Who sets the priorities?”"

This is the reality of #BlackLivesMatterAustralia. Racism is killing and harming our people and people of colour every single day in this country.
The legacy of colonisation lives on in the justice system.
We have to see change in our lifetime. Our lives depend on it.

All this hate directed at universities. Where do people imagine the epidemiologists train? The scientists developing vaccines? The policy experts? The journalists? Not to mention many of the writers and producers and cultural critics keeping us entertained in lockdown??
