Alternative Eye

Alternative Eye is a new series airing on Flirt FM exploring why difference is not always what we think it is. We hear from different contributors as they take the listener on a journey through their lived experience and how it plays out in everyday life and in the educational sphere. We hear their unique stories and gain insights into their unseen lives, all served up with a Galway slant. The aim of the series is to hear about personal experiences on various themes relating to equality, diversity and inclusion in a higher education context at University of Galway as well as considering solutions on improving the world for everyone. The three episodes in this pilot cover the areas of autism, adapting to work and education with dyslexia combined with working memory disorder, and navigating the world with a physical disability. Alternative Eye was devised and produced by award-winning independent audio producer Orla Higgins and is financially supported by the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion budget of the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies, University of Galway. Final Mix by Cormac Corcoran.
