The Frequent Flyers Podcast: Disability Supports at ANU
The Frequent Flyers Podcast: Disability Supports at ANU
Podcast Description
At ANU, the term ‘Frequent Flyer’ started appearing in mid-2024 as a means to describe students who frequently use academic disability support while studying at university - a term implying some form of advantage to utilising the programs and services designed to ensure academic equity in higher education. But when seen from the perspectives of those relying on said services, receiving support becomes all the more complicated. Join Grace as she dives into the complexities of disability politics at ANU, exploring the Education Access Plan, the Extenuating Circumstances Application, and Late Withdrawal.
Written and Edited by Grace Williams, with contributions by the ANU Disabilities Student Association.
Produced by Woroni Radio on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land.
