From clinical psychology to qualitative research in disability, I'm breaking barriers. Let's challenge stereotypes & talk ableism & stigma in vision impairment.
ALT A woman (me) stands outside Bath Spa train station beside a large display board featured in the University of Bath’s Images of Research 2025 exhibition. The board showcases a collaborative project with Karin and Michael focused on identifying barriers and enablers when organizing accessible events for youth with vision impairment. The poster includes a collage of three classroom photos showing students with partial or total vision loss actively engaging with virtual reality headsets. In the left photo, a male student lies on the floor wearing a VR headset while a female student observes nearby. In the top right, the same female student wears the headset, raising her hands to interact with the virtual environment. In the bottom right, a group of students—including a blonde girl and a boy with ginger hair—wear VR headsets and raise their hands, with an adult smiling faintly in the background. The classroom has teal walls and an exit sign is visible.

Embossed #TactileGraphics from the early 1900s by French educator Martin Kunz turned nature into something #Blind students could feel. He hand-carved molds and pressed paper to create raised illustrations with braille descriptions. Our Perkins Archives hold dozens!

👥 6 researchers, multiple disciplines (engineering, management, economics, music, psychology, #DisabilityStudies), one key insight: #Interdisciplinary work!
What if we reframed #FAILURE as:
Facing
Adversity;
Inspiring
Learning;
Understanding
Resilience; &
Embracing growth?
If you are @KingsCollegeLon student /member of staff, join us for the "Failing Forward Seminar Series" panel, 17/4/25 - Thank you @KingsIoPPN for the invitation!
Thrilled to join @KingsCollegeLon@KclCRSD! Here,I'm bringing my passion for vision impairment research with a focus on understanding/creating inclusive career pathways for researchers.Barriers faced by researchers with disabilities don't vanish overnight but we can make progress
Ever heard of Anton's syndrome? It's a rare but strange condition. 👨🎓
After an injury to the back of the brain, a person can become blind but they are totally unaware that they can't see. Their brain does not realise that they can no longer see. 🧑🦯

It's #LowVisionAwarenessMonth and being #Blind doesn't mean you see nothing at all. At Perkins, we give kids with disabilities the confidence and knowledge to access their world in their own way. Help us continue this work with a gift today: Perkins.org/GameDay#SuperBowlLIX
