January 2025 was the fourth edition of ATD Research Month. The ATD Lectorate hosted three events: a carousel style session where students and teachers could find nourishment and regeneration through quiet co-working; and two sold-out symposia “What if… Decoloniality?” and “What if… Neurodiversity?”.

The events showcased the exciting research of ATD teachers: Nita Liem, Dwayne Toemere, Yahmani Blackman, Camiël Kesser, Aion Arribas and antje nestel. Participants from ATD, AHK and UvA students came together in talks, workshops and performances to explore how decolonial and neurodiverse perspectives can flourish in the arts and education.
