Accessibility Matters: Redefining Equity in Canadian Academic Institutions
Moderator
Kate Brothers, Special Projects Officer, Human Rights and Equity Office, Queen's 카지노게임사이트
About the Event
We have a crisis of help-seeking around disability on our college and university campuses. The vast majority of disabled students will leave our campuses without ever seeking help. There are a variety of possible reasons for this crisis, but most of them are related to the ableism that has always been a part of the structure and identity of higher education. Yet we have had an opportunity, over the last five years, to redesign higher education in ways we never have before. In this presentation and discussion, some possibilities for building a more accessible classroom and campus will be suggested and explored. Come and share your own experiences, ideas, challenges, and questions.
