Ways to Change the world

When I present Channel 4 News, in-depth analysis and great journalism come together to explain the events of the day.

But this new podcast wants to help you go much deeper and discuss answers, not just problems.

Each Friday, I’ll speak to one guest, at length, who will hopefully have some answers – without having to rely on a 30 second sound bite.


E 08 - Dr. Jay Dolmage: “Designing through disability as an identity and culture”Listen to this episode from Welcomed by Design on Spotify. On this episode of Welcomed by Design, we sit down with Dr. Jay Dolmage to discuss his book, Academic Ableism, and how he navigates higher education as a disability studies scholar. We touch on various topics such as the deep-rooted history of eugenics in higher education, the mismatched architectural and pedagogical designs present on college campuses, and the importance of building disability culture on these campuses.   Open episode transcript   (An unembedded link to the resource library, which includes transcripts, will be at the bottom of this description for anyone needing to copy and paste the link in a web browser.)    Go to our resource library (for terms and recommended readings)   Host and producer: Lynn Priestley Executive producers: Dr. Jessica FitzPatrick, Dr. Sera Mathew, Max Glider Sound design and producer: Emily Kuntz Producer and Transcriber: Paige Branagan Producer: Emily Viaz Sound editing/design support: Kyle Finch & Max Glider   Our Guests’ Links: Academic Ableism Universal Design mentioned on page 151 Disabled Upon Arrival Disability Rhetoric   Sound credits: “Turning to You” from Landmans Duet, by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue) “Valantis” from Cauldron, by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue)  “Algae Trio” from Algae Fields, by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue) The rest of the audio comes from Freesound.org.

This event series has been designed to encourage and support black students who are studying in the UK and considering a Masters, PhD or career in academia. Often, information about the steps students need to take to progress through academia is not transparent, easily accessible or well circulated.

We have created a space for black students to share their thoughts and concerns about postgraduate study whilst providing information about the steps they can take during their undergraduate and masters that will support their entry into postgraduate research.

It is estimated that of the 19,000 professors in the U.K – around 100 are black. Students from an African-Caribbean background do not see themselves represented in higher education and a postgraduate career appears out of reach. Our ambition is to change this through a series of events that will equip black students with the advice and knowledge they need to thrive and survive in an academic career.

Join us for informative discussions, exciting academic speakers and an evening to discover opportunities in academic research.
