Welcome to NeuroChats: Conversations Toward Inclusive Campuses! In this 7-episode podcast series, we will be exploring stories from neurodivergent educators and students across the British Columbia post-secondary landscape. Join hosts Helena Prins and Britt Dzioba as they speak to six guests about their experiences navigating the post-secondary system as neurodivergent students, educators, and staff. Listeners will enjoy hearing about their education and career journeys, their strategies that support success, and reflections on building more neuro-inclusive campuses. A new episode will be released every Tuesday morning, starting January 20th 2026.
A special thank you to Paula Gaube for her editing and transcription of the podcast, and to Harper Friedman for providing the music edits.
