The Associate Head of the Social Sciences Division (EDI), Professor Nandini Gooptu, has invited Dr Leaver, an experienced GP who has worked with many students at the University, to give a talk on Neurodivergence.

Dr Leaver will be joined by Umme Imani, an EDI Associate in the Social Sciences Division, who is currently working on a project to produce a film to raise awareness about the experiences of neurodivergent students in the University. This talk is a fantastic chance to learn more about how to support neurodivergent members of our community.
