Students
and early career professionals have become engaged as researchers in
the field. This work prepares us with hands-on experience, cultivates
professional growth, and instils a deeper commitment to the field. Our
involvement can help to foster a diverse and inclusive environment that
reflects the broader needs of our communities and helps to advance and
sustain a collaborative approach to research leadership and learning.
Students
and early career professionals have a stake in the future of disability
research. At every level of expertise there should be space for us to
shadow faculty, collaborate with staff, review with peers, and
contribute to teams where our value is evident. These opportunities can
help us build a strong foundation of leadership while gaining essential
skills and experience. We can bring a forward-thinking perspective to
projects.
Providing
opportunities for students and early career professionals echo the
field’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. Investing in developing
the leaders and researchers of the future is essential to both remain
responsive to the field’s evolving needs and to continue its
advancement.
