Supporting neurodiversity in archaeology: designing your hybrid world

 

Description

In this interactive workshop, we will look at some of the Hybrid Working Concepts to make sense of what hybrid working actually means and how it challenges traditional ways of working and thinking. Part of this is exploring your role and what drives the productivity in that role. We’ll then look at you and when, where and how your neurodiverse brain is the most productive and creative. Combining these two inquiries, we explore how in an ideal world you would organise your work to perform and be well and how much of that you can implement. If time allows we discuss how you/we can make a case for that type of arrangement if that is what you need. The workshop will include some input and lots of small group work and discussions.
