Dr Shelli Ann Garland host a regular podcast A Dash of SaLT. SaLT is an acronym for Society and Learning Today (or Sociology and Learning Theories). In the latest episode, Inclusion Matters, Dr Shelli Ann Garland talks with Dr Patricia McCarthy, a visiting research fellow from Trinity College Dublin and passionate advocate for disability and inclusion rights in education.
Patricia shares her own experiences of being educated as a blind/physically impaired student from the 1970s and the barriers she overcame to achieve her PhD. She talks about being perceived as an oddity of being doubly disabled and feeling less able than her peers because she couldn’t walk as well as them.
Dr Shelli Ann Garland says. "I am passionate about all things related to formal and informal learning, social and educational stratification, equity and social justice. teaching and learning, and engaging your sociological imagination to embrace a more positive cultural and world view of community and society today."
A Dash of SaLT was created as an outlet for inviting fresh discussions on sociology and learning theories that impact our world.
In each episode, Dr Shelli Ann Garland is joined by a variety of educational experts, friends and colleagues, to have frank discussions about societal issues that affect learning across the life course.
