This period abroad, almost coming to an end, has flown by.&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading noSpacingAbove noSpacingBelow\">Jentel and her personal assistant Eliane felt warmly welcomed to the University, by joining the inspiring CHEP festival at the beginning of September. Also, many sessions organized by the doctoral college were helpful to develop skills that are relevant to PGR\u2019s. For example, the&nbsp;<i>&#8216;Shut Up and Write&#8217;<\/i>&nbsp;sessions are something they surely will elaborate on in Belgium. It was their great pleasure to engage in teaching sessions, to connect with how students think about \u201cexperience, disability, accessibility, inclusion, \u2026 that shape knowledge\u201d, and to have highly valuable interactions with colleagues of the School of Education!<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading noSpacingAbove noSpacingBelow\">The focus of the research stay was bringing initial thoughts about the introduction and conclusions of the PhD together and reflectively writing about positionality as a researcher. Giving a presentation about positioning to the members of the Centre for Research and Inclusion (CRI) was a wonderful opportunity to deepen those writings. Sharing experiences of academia and disability motivated Ben and Jentel to publish together. While having the chance to visit the charming surrounding cities like Winchester, Romsey and Salisbury, they explored that there is an accessible tactile map of the cathedrals which is an educational good practice to notice.&nbsp;<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading noSpacingAbove noSpacingBelow\">Another highlight of their research stay was a visit from Jentel\u2019s supervisor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ugent.be\/pp\/orthopedagogiek\/en\/department\/staff\/elisabeth-de-schauwer.htm\">Prof. Dr. Elisabeth De Schauwer<\/a>, who provided a presentation about belonging in inclusive education.&nbsp;<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThis period abroad brought me plenty food for thought for the upcoming year.
