Big Geographical Data: a digital revolution for transportation studies (Session 1)
This Mini Course will provide participants with a better understanding of tools and techniques used for gathering, understanding and using geographical data. Although the focus is on human mobility data, principles and practices are relevant to much broader fields. We hope many of you will be able to join and consider potential applications in your own research. Each session is independent, so feel free to attend just one or both!

Coming out in class: Why active learning is important in science courses for LGBTQIA students
The marginalization and bias against members of our LGBTQIA community and other minoritized populations in STEM is not only unjust and harmful, but inhibits creativity and innovation. Active learning and an inclusive class climate promotes the relevance of students’ LGBTQIA identities to their scientific interests and increases engagement, performance, and persistence.

自閉症という見えない障がい:見えるものが全てではない
自閉症という見えない障がい:見えるものが全てではない
自閉症に対する社会の理解欠如は、孤独や刑事司法制度・雇用における当事者の不当な扱いに繋がる深刻な問題です。自閉症は「病気」ではなく、自閉症者を「治す」・「変える」必要はありません。変えていくべきなのは社会の自閉症に対する理解です。
この講義では、障害の社会的モデル・ニューロダイバーシティの目線から、講師自身を含めた当事者の経験と最新の研究に焦点を当て、自閉症における社会性・孤独・メンタルヘルスなどのトピックについて革新的な情報をお話しします。質疑応答の時間もあります。

Autism as an invisible disability: What you see is NOT everything
A lack of societal understanding and acceptance of autism is a serious issue that is associated with loneliness and mistreatments of autistic people in criminal justice system or employment. Autism is not a disorder or impairment that needs to be treated or cured. What needs to be changed is the societal understanding of autism.
In this talk, from the societal model and neurodiversity paradigm, I will highlight lived experiences of autistic people including my own and latest research and cover topics such as sociality, loneliness, and mental health in autism. There will be a Q&A session at the end.
Speaker:
Dr Kana Grace
Kana is an English-Japanese bilingual psychologist specializing in Autism. She is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Center for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE) at University College London where she completed her PhD, and a research collaborator at Autism Spectrum Australia. She has been featured in major media such as BBC, Scientist, and Spectrum. Kana is autistic and an ADHDer, and is passionate about advocacy for autism and neurodiversity.
