Empowering Inclusion Through Trauma-Informed Care
Ways Beyond Words is a space for me to write about all things literature, film, culture: academic, popular, and otherwise. It is also a space for me to write freely about working through–and surviving–academia as a disabled scholar.
Empowering Inclusivity with Compassionate Care
My writing champions inclusivity and accessibility by offering person-centred, trauma-informed support and perspectives that address the representation of physical, emotional, sensory, and social needs in literature, film, and culture. My mission is to empower people, charities, businesses and organisations to foster environments where every person feels valued. Nowhere, I argue, is this more important than in higher education and academia.
