In this episode of Voices of Academia, Emily chats with undergraduate senior, Syreeta Nolan (@nolan_syreeta), about the mental health impacts of navigating disability within universities. This episode is essentially distilled down into two parts - Entering and progressing in academia after a mental health crisis, and the mental health impacts of trying to be accepted as a person with disabilities within academia. *trigger warning* - there is talk of suicide attempts, medical trauma, and rape.
