Session title: Zines, research, and community as a practice and process of coming together
Session facilitators: Sophie Phillips and Kate Montague-Hellen
Session blurb: Zines (small circulation self-published works of original and reused texts, images, etc) have long existed as a powerful way to share ideas that might not fit neatly within conventional publishing outlets (Jones, forthcoming). This session is a relaxed introduction to zines and their value in academic spaces. The session will introduce a brief history of zines and how they've been used in punk, activist, and academic spaces. Afterwards, the session will give you an opportunity to try out zine-making as a practice, where we will explore the experiences of disability and access as postgraduate researchers at the University of Sheffield.

Session title: Worry and disability workshop
Session Facilitator: Cameron Pattinson
Session blurb: Do any of these sound like you? You picture outcomes to possible future events all the time, you go over and over things in your head to feel prepared for any possibility, and you struggle to sleep because your brain just won't switch off? These are all signs of excessive worry. Being a disabled PGR can come with so many additional problems that able-bodied people don't have to think about, and this can lead to a lot of additional worry throughout your studies. Worry can very easily go from a normal human experience to a problematic coping mechanism. These two sessions will teach you about your worry and how it affects your mental and physical health, and will show you some ways to interrupt that worry response and manage it in a healthier way.
