Description
This workshop focuses on helping make your teaching more accessible for you and your students—starting with a redefinition of “access” as an interactive process. Dr. Margaret Price brings over 20 years of experience in disability-studies and pedagogy research to this workshop, and is especially interested in approaches that foreground access for instructors and students at the same time. Our conversation will be structured around three key concepts: presence, participation, and pacing (and no, Margaret did not plan ahead to make those all P’s!). This is not a “best practices” workshop—it is explicitly “Stuff I’m Trying Out,” so please bring your own ideas too.
Upon completion of this workshop, attendees will be able to
- Offer a nuanced definition of “access” in classrooms, with a particular emphasis on access as an interactive experience (rather than something that one person does “for” another).
- Reflect on their own access needs as well as their students’.
- Create a list of concrete ideas to try out in their own classrooms, with the explicit goal of moving toward access rather than achieving access all at once.
