SUMMARY:TALK: The Science of ADHD: Navigating Neurodiversity in a Neurotypical World
DESCRIPTION:A simple scroll through Instagram or TikTok and you’ll be left questioning: do I have ADHD? The rise in ADHD in adults is undeniable. But only over the last decade has ADHD been formally recognised in the UK. It has been suggested that about 1.5 million adults in the UK have ADHD but only 120\,000 have been diagnosed. Waiting times to access an adult ADHD specialist clinic in the NHS can be up to 2 years or more. It’s hard to find support and help. \nFrom dopamine dips\, hits and myths\, how ADHD can present differently in women than men\, and the neuroscience of neurodiversity; this talk is designed to give you an increased awareness and understanding of an ADHD brain. It will include advice and tips on how to navigate a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent person. \nThis talk will also highlight how society is demanding change. People are increasingly recognising and accepting neurodiversity and self-defining as neurodivergent. Surely\, it’s time for the world to alter neurotypical societal standards as they are fast becoming outdated. \nFollow us on IG @seedtalks \nProfessor James Brown is an academic researcher and science communicator. James was diagnosed with ADHD in 2021. Subsequently\, James co-founded and is Chair for the registered UK charity ADHDadultUK\, set up the evidence-based online ADHD magazine focusmag.uk and is a co-founder and co-host of The ADHD Adults Podcast. James is also an ADHD Coach and Mentor and provides training\, guidance and assistance to organisations around adult ADHD for his company JBHD Ltd.

SUMMARY:TALK: The History of Folklore and Feminism
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, feminist writers and thinkers have turned to myths\, legends\, fairytales\, religious stories\, and cultural traditions to make sense of women’s experiences. All of these come under the umbrella of ‘folklore’. This talk will explore the enduring relevance of folklore\, asking how these stories can be reclaimed and reimagined for the 21st-century feminist. \nWe’ll trace figures like the witch\, the shapeshifter\, and the maiden across different traditions\, examining the societal norms they were created to enforce and how feminist thinkers have reshaped them into symbols of resistance and possibility. \nFinally\, we will ask why we continually return to ancient stories to tell new ones — does this suggest that we’re out of new stories\, or is it a part of a longstanding literary tradition in women’s writing\, to look back\, to subvert dominant myths\, and to challenge the patriarchal ideas embedded in our society? \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr Shelby Judge is a Lecturer in Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Derby\, \nwhere she researches digital feminist and popular feminist responses to Incels and the \nManosphere. She recently completed her PhD in English Literature at the University of \nGlasgow\, for which she produced the thesis Contemporary Feminist Adaptations of Greek \nMyth. Due to the proliferating nature of this genre\, Shelby’s work in this field is ongoing. She \nhas published work on #MeToo and the Trojan War\, 21st Century adaptations of Helen of \nTroy\, transgender adaptations of Frankenstein\, and transgender readings of Ovid. She has \npreviously given public lectures on toxic masculinity in Greek myth and sea monsters in Scottish folklore. She is a regular contributor to the Literary Encyclopedia\, for which she has \nwritten articles on the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy and Margaret Atwood\, as well as entries on \nLaura Bates and Janice Hallett. Shelby is a committee member for the Transatlantic Literary \nWomen network\, funded by the US Embassy and BAAS.
