Neuro-inclusive live music
<p>We are back with a new name, new branding and a new season! In season 2 we will be deep diving into neurodiversity in the music industry and we have some fantastic guests lined up! We will also be joined by a fabulous co-host for the season, Dr Hayleigh Bosher. </p><br><p>Hayleigh is not only my best friend but is also creative industries law and policy expert. She is a Reader in Intellectual Property Law at Brunel, University of London, consultant and board member in the creative industries. She is currently a research fellow at the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, funded by the British Academy Researcher-led Innovation Fellowship. Hayleigh is the author of Copyright in the Music Industry (Edward Elgar, 2026), the host of the Whose Song is it Anyway? Podcast. </p><br><p>In this first episode of the season, Hayleigh and I chat about our project LIVEND and the research and work we have done to make live music venues and events more inclusive for Neurodivergent people. The episode also includes a recording of a panel discussion we hosted at our event as part of this project at the Royal Albert Hall in July 2024, alongside our reflections of this event. On the panel, we hear from Flo Schroeder, former Senior Engagement Manager at the Royal Albert Hall, Esta Rae, Senior Events Manager at AIM (Association of Independent music) and founder of Life with Dyslexia, and Georgia Harper, former policy manager at Autistica.</p><br><p>You can find project LIVEND on LinkedIn: <a href="www.linkedin.com/company/livend" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/company/livend</a> </p><p>The research paper on Autistic people's experiences of live music venues and events: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1177/25739581251375879" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1177/25739581251375879</a></p><br><p>Hayleigh's links:</p><p><a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brunel.ac.uk%2Fpeople%2Fhayleigh-bosher&data=05%7C02%7Ckm2564%40bath.ac.uk%7C04542fb59b1343d1b31208de9270ba63%7C377e3d224ea1422db0ad8fcc89406b9e%7C0%7C0%7C639109210025783139%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Q%2FZEGuvxeXJikaJ%2FEgWz470Is7yyY%2FIZKGkrAKNRxMA%3D&reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.brunel.ac.uk/people/hayleigh-bosher</a></p><p><a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fhayleigh-bosher%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ckm2564%40bath.ac.uk%7C04542fb59b1343d1b31208de9270ba63%7C377e3d224ea1422db0ad8fcc89406b9e%7C0%7C0%7C639109210025802945%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=P0cE6Ej3DVcMO%2BE56PENlhRq8kXQPeuv3SaOJgXOIHA%3D&reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/in/hayleigh-bosher/</a> </p><p><a href="https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fhayleigh.bosher%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ckm2564%40bath.ac.uk%7C04542fb59b1343d1b31208de9270ba63%7C377e3d224ea1422db0ad8fcc89406b9e%7C0%7C0%7C639109210025815902%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=cqTEC02OWS%2B6dzDSLv372T6KtGlfJnUxv%2B6N%2FGPyKEk%3D&reserved=0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/hayleigh.bosher/</a></p><br><p>Follow Divergent Minds on Instagram and send us your questions, comments, and requests for episodes: <a href="www.instagram.com/divergentminds.podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/divergentminds.podcast</a></p><p>Please like and subscribe!</p><br><p><br></p><p>Follow us on Instagram: [@divergentminds.podcast](https://www.instagram.com/divergentminds.podcast?igsh=YmhoczVwMDVxaGVm&utm_source=qr)</p><p>Divergent Minds is hosted and produced by [Dr Keren MacLennan](<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kerenmaclennan/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/kerenmaclennan/</a>)</p><p>Please like, subscribe, or leave us a review!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
