This is the website of the monthly Intersectional Neurodiversity and the Intersectional Disability Reading Groups. Initially, these reading groups ran as separate groups. The Intersectional Neurodiversity Reading Group took place on the 3rd Friday of the month between July 2019 and April 2022. At the start this reading group was homed at various locations in London, but since the pandemic has taken place online. The Intersectional Disability Reading Group took place, online from the start, between Jan 2020 and April 2022 on the 1st Friday of the month. From May 2022 onwards, the reading group(s) revolve around a specific theme.
​
Currently, the ADHD Reading Group takes place on both the 1st and the 3rd Friday of the month.
In 2025, the reading groups will continue to meet monthly (1st/3rd Friday) and continue to be about disability, neurodiversity -- as well as madness, illness etc - and with an intersectional focus. The Eco-Ability Reading Group will take place the 1st Friday of the month. The Cripping Pedagogy Reading Group will take place on the 3rd Friday of the month. Always: 3-4.30pm UK time.
The reading groups are intended for academics, students, and activists and community members, and anyone else, who are interested in reading and discussing intersectional academic texts on neurodiversity and/or disability from the Social Sciences and beyond. The groups are organised and facilitated by Dr Dyi Huijg - and they are neurodivergent-led and disabled-led.

Click here for details how to sign up for the mailing list. When you sign up for the mailing list you can attend meetings if/as/when, and you can get access to the readings three meetings in advance. Signing up does not mean you are required to attend all the time, or at all. You can come and go as needed.
​
We also organise, as and when, spin-off initiatives, such as the webinars 'Feminist Perspectives on Neurodiversity and Neuronormativity' and 'Intersectional Approaches to Disability and Race'. A special section and a special issue are currently in the making. And a section of the reading group has formed a research team to write an article on 'Co-constructing ADHD Pedagogy'.
​
All events organised by the reading groups follow, where applicable, the same ground rules and facilitation, communication and access guidelines. Attendance assumes agreement. Although available to the public, they are (semi-)private initiatives.
