Contributor(s): Dr Alpa Shah | Proponents of economic growth claim that it will trickle down to everyone, will be good for all. But is this the case?

Contributor(s): Brett Heasman | The word “autism” encompasses both diversity and complexity. Autistic people* have unique ways of experiencing the world and perceiving others, are diverse in their abilities and behaviours, and are often represented from the “outside” by books, films, the media and science. It can be hard for society to understand their specific and complex needs, which can negatively impact their quality of life, relationships, support networks and job prospects. As part of his

Contributor(s): Dr Julia Morley | Julia Morley's research investigates the way we measure success in the social sector. Why has social impact become an increasingly prevalent measure of success?
