Our co-founder Jodee Simpson is leading our first study as part of their Masters by Research at Leeds Beckett University. 

Abstract: 
This study explores how neurodivergent speech and language therapists (SLTs) in the UK develop their professional identities alongside positive neurodivergent identities. Using Karen Barad's Diffraction Methodology, it emphasises the creative and nonhierarchical nature of diffraction, disrupting traditional research methods and focusing on the dynamic interplay of stories and perspectives. 

Through community-based participatory research, participants collaborate by sharing and rewriting stories of key moments in their personal and professional lives. This process highlights how identities are entangled and continuously evolving, rather than fixed. It juxtaposes the systemic pressures that often push neurodivergent professionals toward conformity or masking against the transformative potential of collective reflection and emancipatory resistance.
