Desiring Autism and Neurodivergence in Education: Critical, Creative, and Decolonial Perspectives Symposium is being held July 23-25, 2024 at Queen’s University in what is currently known as Kingston, Ontario. 

 We invite researchers, artists, and activists to join us. We seek new conversations, contestations and perspectives that build solidarity and Autistic justice across sites of difference and tension in Autism research, politics and practice including, for example, self-advocacy and parent advocacy; rural and urban experiences; global North and South disability perspectives; unsettling settler and elevating Indigenous understandings of difference; critical educator/practitioner and user/consumer experiences; rethinking biomedical and neurodiversity approaches.
