Guest speaker: 

Alyssa is an Autistic doctoral candidate in interdisciplinary neuroscience at the University of Rhode Island, and also a math teacher. Broadly, they are interested in issues related to disability and communication, neurodiversity and representation, and the overlap of neurodivergence and queerness. Sometimes they use mouth words and sometimes they use typed words. 

Alyssa will be delivering a short presentation, then opening up to Q & A - please note that Alyssa may switch between oral verbalisation and text, or use entirely text for the session.
