TU Dublin Lecturer Shines a Light on Dyslexia Awareness in RTE Documentary

Published: 20 Sep, 2024

At TU Dublin, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive and accessible university, committed to fostering a supportive learning environment for all. This week, Dr. Keith Murphy, a Lecturer in Applied Social Care on our Tallaght campus, contributed to the important conversation around dyslexia.

Dr Murphy recently participated in an RTE1 documentary about dyslexia, which aired this week. His involvement was not only as a lecturer at TU Dublin but also as an advocate for dyslexia awareness, drawing on both his research and lived experience with the condition. This opportunity allowed him to share insights on the challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia and to highlight the importance of inclusive practices in education and beyond.

The documentary, now available on RTE Player, has already gained significant attention Dr. Murphy’s contributions, which appear around the 20-minute mark, add an important academic perspective to the broader discussion about how society can better support people with dyslexia.

Keith’s role in this documentary exemplifies TU Dublin's commitment to empowering our staff and students to ‘go beyond learning’ and advocate for positive societal change.
