I am very exciting that my paper “Tangent 1: How can we know? An intersectional feminist ADHD epistemology of ranting, spirality and curvimultipoint(s)” has now been published in the Summer 2026 issue of Disability Studies Quarterly.
Abstract: Tangent 1 critiques the echo chamber of ADHD knowledge construction, dominated by nonADHDers and non-ADHDness, starting with the premise that without ADHDness and ADHDers there cannot be critical and intersectional ADHD knowledge. Through the form of a rant, speaking to the ADHDers known and to be known, Tangent 1 offers an exploration of an intersectional feminist ADHD epistemology by doing it but not defining it, by centring ADHDness in content and form, by rantily marinating in the nonlinear ADHD cognitivity of spirality and curvimultipoints.

“This project relies on a participatory design, involving a neurodiverse group of academics and educational developers, bringing their own experiences and motivations for creating neuroinclusive university classrooms.”
The group will use co-creative design activities and conduct qualitative investigations of their own and others’ experiences to explore and adapt community-building and collaboration-enhancing activities for use in neurodiverse classrooms.”
The project aims to support university teachers in the task of creating a thriving community of diverse learners. It will document the design and application of concrete activities and frameworks, facilitating collaboration in neurodiverse classrooms in higher education, and it will establish a new foundation for teacher consultation provided by the CED, with a focus on neurodiversity-related opportunities and challenges.”

Research project: Co-Constructing ADHD Pedagogy
Recently I started with an international, interdisciplinary and generally fabulous team the research project ‘Co-Constructing ADHD Pedagogy’. With a small section of the ADHD reading group (i.e. the research team) we are reflecting together on our participation in and facilitation of the reading group. We are all ADHDers.

This is a brief announcement that a significant number of abstracts have been accepted for the special issue ‘Critical and Intersectional ADHD Thought: ADHDers Think Back’, to be published in the open access (and thus freely accessible) online journal Canadian Journal of Disability Studies (CJDS). The special issue is organised by Dr Eric Olund and yours truly (Dr Dyi Huijg). A first round of abstracts was accepted in 2022, then we invited additional abstracts in 2024 (recently). Unfortunately, due to circumstances we had to depart from the workshops that we planned initially. But still: only ADHDers contribute. The abstracts are very interdisciplinary – including a few artistic/creative contributions. And they both (1) push back against the medical/individual model of ADHD and (2) push forward the critical and intersectional thinking about ADHDness. We are very excited and really look forward to writing our own articles and reading all the papers of the other contributors. As the field of Critical and Intersectional ADHD Thought is emerging, we expect that there will be a significant time in between the submission of articles to the CJDS and the reviewing and rerturn of articles as, this being an emerging field, there are no ‘experts’ as of yet. As such, it will take possibly more time than publishing already takes before the individual articles and the special issue will be up. While not in workshop-format, from the abstracts we have been able to propose a number of symposia (pre-organised panels around a specific theme) for the Leeds Disability Studies Conference 2024, for those who are up for it. So that is something to look forward to in the interim :). I will keep you updated about the progress!
Find here the 2024 Call for (additional) Papers for the special issue ‘Critical and Intersectional ADHD Thought: ADHDers Think Back’, so that you have an idea what to expect from the special issue.
