Current and recent work

[edit]

Simon Hayhoe is currently an associate professor of special educational needs, disability and inclusion at the University of Exeter, a centre research associate in the Centre for the Philosophy of Natural and Social Science, London School of Economics and an associate of the Scottish Sensory Centre, University of Edinburgh. Through these posts he continues to research and teach participatory and grounded methodology, and epistemology of disability and ability, with special reference to education, inclusion, technology and the arts.[19] Hayhoe's other research interests include inclusive and assistive technology, mobile technology and disability, religion and disability - with a focus on Christianity and Islam - and museums and disability. He was also a partner of an international project investigating the use of mobile technologies as a tool of inclusion for disabled people in museum environments. This project is sponsored by a Horizon 2020 grant from the European Union. The research was partnered with TreeLogic (based in Madrid), the Open University, and national museums in London, Madrid and Vienna.[20][21]

Over the past fifteen years, Hayhoe has conducted projects in the field of disability and cultural and artistic inclusion in the US, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Austria, Republic of Ireland, Russia, Mexico and the UK. He has also presented his research and writing on inclusive capital, inclusive technical capital, the epistemology of disability, and passive & active exclusion to further educational conferences and expositions in Europe, North America, the Far East / East Asia and the Middle East.
