CSE590W: Accessibility Research Seminar
Instructors
Who can attend? Students at any level who are excited about the intersection of disability, race and accessibility Those who can't register directly for the course should reach out to Venkatesh or Kelly.
Seminar Expectations
Please remember to help us create an inclusive, respectful, and accessible environment for all participants. This means many things but some examples are: taking turns when speaking; introducing yourself and helping to improve caption accuracy by speaking clearly and slowly; keeping your video on if possible to make lip reading easier; remembering to do the reading, listen and avoid assuming you know what others experience; do the work to teach yourself and learn together; check in regularly; and let others speak before speaking again.
Community Norms
- Say your name before speaking
- Raise your hand or type “hand” in the chat if you have a comment
- Please turn off your camera if you are going to be walking around-- it is distracting and nauseating for some participants
- Verbally describe any key visual features, if you are presenting
- Chat use-- share information that is helpful and topical
- Venkatesh, Kelly, or the current speaker is responsible for for calling out important information in the chat
- Chat is also another option for communication (e.g., after raising your hand) if you prefer typing to audio
- Kelly and Venkatesh will be in charge of emailing out a summary of chat information from the chat
- We will enable the ability to rename yourself to add pronouns to name
- Zoom captions will be provided and captioners will be scheduled upon request.
- Begin seminar with a land acknowledgement
