Join us for a conversation on designing institutions and learning environments where neurodivergent students, staff, and faculty can thrive.

Associate Professor Matthew Harrison is a learning intervention scholar at the University of Melbourne Faculty of Education and project lead for the University of Melbourne Neurodiversity Project. His research focuses on neurodiversity, inclusive education, autism, ADHD, social inclusion, sensory differences, and the use of digital technologies, including cooperative video games and virtual reality, to build belonging and social capacity.

An experienced teacher and researcher across Australia, South Korea, and the United Kingdom, he co-founded Next Level Collaboration, a neurodivergent-led social enterprise that uses cooperative gaming to support inclusion and leadership among neurodivergent young people. His work advances strengths-based, affirmative approaches to neurodiversity in higher education and beyond.
