SUMMARY:Sarah Silverman on An Introduction to Neurodiversity for Educators: History and Applications to Our Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Silverman on An Introduction to Neurodiversity for Educators: History and Applications to Our Teaching\nDate: Monday\, November 17th\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nRegistration link \nSoTL Speaker Session Description: \nNeurodiversity\, or the naturally occurring variation in human cognition\, is becoming a popular topic in higher education and adjacent fields as more of our students identify as “neurodivergent” and neurodiversity gains recognition as an important component of inclusive teaching efforts. But what is neurodiversity\, and what is the history and political importance of this concept? This workshop will introduce educators to the basic terminology of the Neurodiversity paradigm (including the terms “neurodivergent” and “neurotypical”) as well as the history of Neurodiversity as a disability rights movement with roots in the Autism rights movement. This participatory workshop will offer attendees opportunities to reflect on their own experiences with neurodiversity in and out of the classroom and to consider what neurodiversity-informed teaching looks like in their own fields.  \nSoTL Speaker’s Bio: \nSarah Silverman\, PhD is an independent faculty developer and instructor of Disability Studies. As an autistic educator\, she has a personal stake in Neurodiversity as well as extensive college teaching and faculty development experience. Her interests include accessible and feminist pedagogy\, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and disability-informed critiques of educational technology. Her writings appear in To Improve the Academy\, the Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy\, the blog Feminist Pedagogy for Teaching Online\, New Directions for Teaching and Learning\, and on her newsletter Beyond the Scope. Her book An Introduction to Neurodiversity for Educators is forthcoming from the University of Oklahoma Press.

The current iteration brings together educational/curriculum/faculty/instructional developers and instructors from across Canada and the US to explore and reflect on narratives of education in films\, television\, short stories\, and novels. These works may speak to us as learners\, educators\, developers\, researchers\, artists\, and/or simply as humans.  \nFor Fall 2025\, the Fictional Classrooms community will be discussing:  \n\nCommunity S05E02 “Introduction to Teaching” (TV show) – September 22 \n\n\n“The Unknowable Pleasures” by Susie Yang (short story) – October 27 \n\n\nLegally Blonde (dir. Robert Luketic) (film) – November 24 \n\n\nAnd Then She Fell by Alicia Elliott (novel) – December 15 \n\nYou can read about all these selections (and previous selections) in our what to read/watch list.  \nTo join the Fictional Classrooms Community for Summer 2025:  \nPlease sign up as follows:   \n\nVisit https://groups.google.com/search?q=FictionalClassroomsED (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account)\nOn the right-hand side\, click the small “Join” icon (next to the star) and ask to join group.\nMatthew and Robin will approve your request within 2 working days\, and you will then have access to the group\, including their shared Google Folder and Calendar. \n\nNote from Matthew and Robin: We approach the Fictional Classrooms program with a “read-what-you-can” mentality. We understand that we can get busy and may not finish readings each month\, but we encourage you to attend each session regardless of how much you have been able to engage with the text or film so we can still have fruitful conversations and build community.
