Great to see our new article out open access in @JDisSoc: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… @SalRob310 @kylievfromSPRC @janidle
"If thousands of people share painful experiences and then hear nothing back, the lesson many will draw is that speaking up changes little."
From my article in The Conversation today theconversation.com/the-disa…
People with disability shared their harrowing experiences with the royal commission. But not everyone's happy with the pace of change since. @LauraKDavy @OurANU theconversation.com/the-disa…

Computers promise to replace fallible human judgement with something more consistent, efficient and fair. But this isn't always the case. @LauraKDavy @OurANU theconversation.com/first-ro…

A reading of the proposed staff cuts in the ANU CASS confirms my impression that they are likely to affect women's academic employment most severely. Not only are many positions being cut at Levels B and C, some more senior positions being cut are also held by women.

It’s #GenArtMonday, and today we’re highlighting the works of Andrew Strauss @studiostrauss on our homepage 💻💎
A multi-disciplinary designer and digital artist based in Canberra, Andrew is passionate about creating timeless designs and visual narratives through ever-evolving technologies.
Very proud of fabulous artist and hubby @studiostrauss whose work is currently being exhibited across the world. This @artcrush project showcases art on screens in public spaces where everyone can encounter it during their day to day.
Super excited - my artwork is part of @artcrush World Council Selection exhibition in collaboration with @oOh_Unmissable ! Huge thanks to @GTSewell for putting my name in the hat. My piece was shown on 500 screens across Australia, and I’m thrilled it’ll now be heading to Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas! Stay tuned for more updates on this incredible journey.

This article is part of a series where experts analyse what new proposals could mean for people with disability.

It explores how accessible complaints mechanisms, policy initiatives that strengthen and build natural supports, and shared responsibility for preventing violence and abuse across policy actors are key to promoting quality and safety within marketised services environments.
@LowyInstitute just published a great piece by @MattWithers_. Big surveys are a useful tool, but not so much for exploring the complexities of people’s lived experience. It’s important that govt listens to multiple forms of evidence. lowyinstitute.org/the-interp…
