Event description
UTS was successful in funding for a research project working with local governments to support them to
be better agents of inclusion of people with intellectual disability for the wider community.
This funding led to the establishment of a diverse research team that included people with intellectual disability.
Join us for an hour presentation with two members of the team, Jack and Phillippa, who will reflect on how they worked
together, what worked and what they would do differently.
They will share their five top tips based on what they learnt about inclusive research and how to do it at university.
