Our presentation is a critical reflective podcast discussion between two students (MSW and BA candidates) and a faculty member/ field instructor. The conversation will be framed across themes depicted in the digital story Neurodiversity: Val-You-Able?, produced by the lead presenter, based on her field placement experience with the project. The podcast discusses ways in which ideas of human value can be expanded upon and re-configured as a part of decolonizing what “equity” can mean in learning and practice. It also considers how research practices can themselves invite a questioning of colonial frames and practices, building opportunities for collaborative learning (Allan et al., 2019; Kapp, 2011), mutual exchange, and the valuing of different contributions (Ermine, 2007).
