Events
Conversations That Matter. Experiences That Inspire. Ideas That Create Change.
Academic Warriors brings people together to explore the human experiences behind academic and professional life.
Our events create opportunities for individuals to share lived experiences, institutions to listen and learn, and communities to consider how understanding can lead to meaningful change.
Through forums, panel discussions, workshops and collaborative conversations, we seek to challenge assumptions, encourage dialogue and recognise the courage found in everyday experiences.
Our events are designed to bring together diverse voices, including academics, researchers, university leaders, human resources professionals, students and other stakeholders committed to more inclusive and responsive academic environments.
Upcoming Event(s)
Courage in the Public Eye
A Higher Education Forum | 5 December 2026 | 2.00–5.00 pm | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
What does it mean to thrive in academia when our institutions are not always designed to recognise different abilities, experiences and needs?
Courage in the Public Eye brings together academics, individuals sharing lived experiences, university leaders and other stakeholders for an afternoon of honest conversations about disability, neurodivergence, health, adaptation and inclusion in higher education.
Moving beyond individual stories, the forum asks an important question: How can universities translate lived experience into meaningful institutional understanding, responsibility and change?
Looking Ahead
Courage in the Public Eye marks the beginning of a broader programme of conversations and engagement.
Future Academic Warriors events will explore lived experiences, inclusive leadership, institutional practices, professional development and the many dimensions of human challenges within higher education.
We welcome opportunities to collaborate with universities, professional associations, community organisations and others who share our commitment to meaningful dialogue and positive change.
Every experience has something to teach us. Every conversation is an opportunity to learn.
