The Power of Diverse Minds – Rethinking Inclusion

The College of Business and Economics at UW-Whitewater has received a Tommy Thompson Speaker grant to bring Dr. Ludmila Praslova to campus. Dr. Praslova is a leading voice in neurodiversity, inclusion, and organizational culture. Her work focuses on equitable practices in academic and corporate settings. She is a Professor of Graduate Industrial-Organizational Psychology and Accreditation Liaison Officer at Vanguard University of Southern California. She will be visiting on Monday, April 20, and the event is scheduled from 11:45 AM – 2:00 PM in the Hamilton Room at the University Center. The event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be provided to registered attendees. Virtual attendance is also available.

Neuroinclusion in the workplace is recognized as valuable, but still limited by outdated systems, stigma, and a reactive approach. Community members, potential employers, and corporate leaders need to hear from experts like Dr. Ludmila Praslova, who are calling for a shift from “accommodation” to systemic redesign, where belonging and dignity are built into organizational practices. Systemic neuroinclusion also means creating workplaces that better support everyone’s needs and productivity. Hence, this presentation can be of interest to those interested in dignity, productivity, and decent work for all.
