Dr Chrissy Antonopoulos and Dr Nicole Sugden from the School of Psychology discuss their recent study on implicit bias towards people with disability in Australia. We explore how these findings can inform inclusive practices in healthcare, education, and employment; and how personal values might be used to guide reflective interventions. The conversation also touches on Chrissy and Nicole’s transition from supervisor and PhD candidate to co-researchers, offering a unique perspective on collaboration in research.
