Below is a short description that could be used to promote my audio paper to websites such as NOS magazine (http://nosmag.org/) which highlight and comment on issues that affect people with neurodiversities:
20 year old student and sound artist Henry Brewer has just released a new pilot podcast titled “Well, Why Am I Doing This Anyway?”. This first episode highlights Brewer’s struggles with ADHD in academic settings, calling into question the very nature in which arts universities function and become inaccessible to neurodivergent students, whilst also stepping back and looking at the history of how this came to be. Brewer’s aim is to call for change in a system which he sees as being “frustrating…, especially from the perspective of someone who with an undiagnosed learning disability who doesn’t necessarily have access to many treatments”. He hopes to continue this series into the future, further probing into inaccessible aspects of our westernised society whose traditions can often stem from the archaic. We are here, and we deserve to be heard.
