As a practitioner in the university sector, in my sessions with neurodiverse and disabled undergraduate and postgraduate students, I frequently hear stories of their frustrations with the exclusionary practices of their institutions. While these are anecdotal, they are common. Although institutions might claim inclusion, disabled students advise of non-inclusive practices while simultaneously being surrounded by materials promoting the inclusive nature of their institution. There are two concurrent narratives running across the sector: those of institutions and those of their disabled students. This research is valuable as it moves discourse from institutions claiming inclusion as a completed enterprise by examining how and why the medicalised language of disability and institutional ableist practices are culturally encoded in universities. Further, the study will explore how disabled students might develop a sense of belonging when, although granted entry, they are then subsequently met with barriers to their inclusion.Where the focus of the MA dissertation was neurodiverse students, there is now opportunity to open this to a wider disabled student demographic, with further questions to ask. Where there persists an incongruity of lived experience and policy being put into practice, enquiry needs to be made into how disability is perceived and how it is discussed; of who can talk about disability and inclusion and how; where rights have been established but are also ignored; why the 'problem' of the disabled student persists while at the same time claims of widening participation, diversity andinclusion are used as recruitment and marketing tools; and of how inclusion is interpreted so broadly while at the same time policy and systems of adjustment persist to 'accommodate'.Therefore, the key research aims of the study are:1. Through its critical disability studies approach and a qualitative research design, the study will interrogate the different and contradictory narratives in the sector: why, how and by whom are different stories being told?2. It is time to for a cultural shift in universities' attitudes to their disabled student populations: entry and (limited) access are insufficient. Where disabled students' experiences continue to shine a light on inadequacies in university access both through such constructs as the Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA) processes and institutions' own policies of 'inclusion', this study will explore the encoded language and systems that perpetuate the continued dis/ableism of their student populations.Research questionsThese are mapped to the research aims of the study and its epistemological stance of person-centred critical disability studies research.1. Who do we mean and how do we talk about disabled students?2. What is the sector doing to include their disabled student populations and how is this being received by those students they aim to support?3. Universities are often world-leading in research and teaching, yet their disabled students still experience exclusionary practices. While claiming to be 'inclusive' and applying a social model of disability, an individualised, medical model of disability is deeply entrenched throughout institutions' practices. With an encoded language of an imaginary 'default' non-disabled student embedded in the culture of universities, how can we openly discuss, critique and start to dismantle this dis/ableism?4. What does the sector understand to be inclusion and how do they use the language of inclusion to describe exclusionary practices?5. Why are rights not enough?6. What positive suggestions can be made to resolve some of the issues this causes?

作为一名大学部门的从业者，在我与神经多样性和残疾本科生和研究生的会议中，我经常听到他们对他们机构的排斥做法感到沮丧的故事。虽然这些都是轶事，但它们很常见。虽然机构可能声称包容，但残疾学生在被宣传其机构包容性的材料包围的同时，也会建议采取非包容性做法。有两个并行的叙述贯穿整个部门：那些机构和他们的残疾学生。这项研究是有价值的，因为它移动的话语从机构声称包容作为一个完整的企业，通过研究如何以及为什么医学语言的残疾和机构健全的做法是文化编码在大学。此外，这项研究将探讨如何残疾学生可能会发展的归属感时，虽然获准入境，他们随后遇到的障碍，他们的inclusion. Where硕士论文的重点是神经多样性的学生，现在有机会打开这一更广泛的残疾学生的人口，有进一步的问题要问。如果生活经验与正在实施的政策始终不一致，就需要调查人们如何看待残疾问题以及如何讨论残疾问题;谁可以谈论残疾问题和包容问题以及如何谈论;在哪些地方已经确立了权利，但也被忽视;为什么残疾学生的"问题"持续存在，而同时声称扩大参与，多样性和包容性被用作招聘和营销工具;以及包容性是如何被如此广泛地解释的，而同时政策和制度的调整却坚持“欺骗”。通过其关键的残疾研究方法和定性研究设计，该研究将询问该部门的不同和矛盾的叙述：为什么，如何以及由谁讲述不同的故事？2.现在是大学对残疾学生群体的态度发生文化转变的时候了：入学和（有限的）准入是不够的。残疾学生的经历继续通过残疾学生津贴程序和机构自身的"包容"政策等结构揭示出大学入学的不足，这项研究将探讨编码语言和系统，使持续的DIS/研究问题这些都映射到研究的研究目标和它的认识论立场的人，以关键残疾研究为中心的研究。我们指的是谁？我们如何谈论残疾学生？2.该部门正在做什么来包括他们的残疾学生群体，以及他们打算支持的学生如何接受这一点？3.大学往往在研究和教学方面处于世界领先地位，但其残疾学生仍然受到排斥。虽然声称是"包容性的"，并适用残疾的社会模式，但残疾的个性化医疗模式在机构的做法中根深蒂固。随着一个想象中的"默认"非残疾学生嵌入大学文化的编码语言，我们如何才能公开讨论，批评和开始拆除这种残疾/能力主义？4.该部门对包容性的理解是什么？他们如何使用包容性的语言来描述排斥性做法？5.为什么光有权利还不够？6.可以提出哪些积极的建议来解决由此引起的一些问题？
