Jonathan Drury at The Systemic Practice and Autism Conference

InDialogue

FRIDAY 5TH JULY 2019. POSTGRADUATE CENTRE, UNIVERSITY OF BEDFORDSHIRE, LUTON, Autism Dialogue’s Jonathan Drury gave a talk at the above event and convened a short dialogue with a range of professionals in the field. Dr. Simon announced that a collection of writings in a book is planned for 2020 and we have been invited to submit a chapter proposal. “There are quite a few systemic practitioners using systemic ways of thinking and communicating with neuro-diverse groups of people. So far, this work is happening in isolated pockets. The intention of this event is to bring together systemic practitioners and create more of a cohesive community of systemic practice and research in this area of lived experience. This conference invites and encourages proposals for presentations which take into account the practices of power in how we use language and how we position ourselves when speaking about our conversations with people. Presenters and workshop hosts are encouraged to adopt an alongside position rather than purely an about-ness position (Shotter 2011).” from Uni of Beds website
