Our guest is Aaron Saint-James, Research Officer and co-founder of Diversified at UNSW. Drawing on his experiences as a mature-age, neurodivergent student and professional, Aaron reflects on navigating higher education from the margins and creating pathways for inclusion and change. He speaks about the instability of casual work, the hidden weight of invisible labour, and the purpose he’s found in connecting community through equity and neuro-inclusion. For anyone finding their footing in the third space, his message is clear: don’t wait for the system to make space for you — carve your own.
