Title: Disabled women in psychology: The importance of inclusion and recommendations for practice.
Authors: Wilkinson, Meredith (AUTHOR), Brewer, Gayle (AUTHOR)

Subjects: Disability awareness, School environment, Role models, Academia, Mentoring, Students with disabilities
Abstract: This paper argues that disabled women have a key role to play in Psychology, both in terms of academic and educational practice. For example, disabled women have a greater insight into the experiences of disabled students, act as role models and mentors, and contribute to an equitable and effective educational and academic environment. Data indicates, however, that disabled women are significantly underrepresented, and especially so in more senior roles (Advance HE, 2024). We suggest three ways in which academia and educational practice can support disabled women with their career progression in Psychology. These include, (1) leadership schemes, networks and mentoring, (2) workload and task allocation, and (3) increasing disability awareness and equity. It is our belief that supporting disabled women to thrive in academic and educational practice will be of significant benefit to the discipline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
