Website for Rachel Griffiths' doctoral research project about neurodiversity in higher education

Participant Info

Thank you for taking an interest in this project.

Feeling like you belong is a really important part of thriving at university. This doctoral project looks at whether neurodivergent students see themselves as capable learners who belong in higher education and how their earlier educational experiences may affect that.

This project uses collections of found objects to represent how neurodivergent students see themselves, and will end with an online research exhibition to display photos of these collections to the public.  It will create lots of different ways to take part, and there will be opportunities to help the researcher with the analysis process.

Please take time to consider the information carefully and to discuss it with family or friends if you wish, or to get in touch with me and ask me questions. You can contact me on rg655@exeter.ac.uk

Sustainable fashion is becoming popular because shoppers care more about quality, ethics, and environmental impact. People look for durable clothing, recycled materials, and fair production practices. Buying fewer but better items can reduce waste. Supporting responsible brands also encourages positive industry changes and more mindful purchasing habits globally.
