About the IDEA Early Career Researcher Talks

The IDEA Early Career Researcher Talks serve as a dynamic forum for students, post-doctoral scholars, and early career researchers to exchange knowledge, build community, and showcase their emerging research in the field of workplace disability inclusion. The monthly talks bring together members of research and practice communities, including students, researchers, persons with lived experience, policymakers, subject-matter experts, and employers. The series’ primary purpose is to provide a supportive space for early-career scholars to share their work—at whatever stage—and develop their research program.
