Accessibility Guidelines
Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Graduate Conference Thinking about accessibility: Places to begin...
The Sociology and Equity Studies in Education (SESE) community will be enhanced by a broader conceptualization of access that includes disability in its calls for inclusion, equality, and social justice. Animated by the understanding of disability as a socio-political phenomenon, and a desirable place for scholarly inquiry, access is imagined as an ongoing communicative relationship between people, activities and environments. We offer these points as ways of doing access so as to cultivate a more inclusive spirit at conferences.
· While presenting, blocking one’s face and mouth with hands or papers may compromise communication
· Repeating questions aloud before answering them can increase access
· The pace and volume of your voice may affect how others’ access to your presentation
· Visually describing power point presentations or any sort of projections or visuals gives more people access to the visual components to your presentation
· Reading aloud words and quotes that are visually displayed, whether in handouts or projections, increases access to the materials to which you are referring
· Think about how the font style and size used can improve access to your handouts and projections. Avoid using dark text on a dark background
· Handing out a written copy of your presentation and providing large print (18 point font) copies of all text-based handouts can improve access to your presentations.
· Spelling out names of people you refer to in your presentation allows more people to access your references
· Participate in OISE’s commitment to minimize scents in the environment
Accessibility is not simply a one-way street where one gives access to another and it is more than mere compliance with laws. Given this, we hope that presenters will engage these suggestions creatively and productively in diverse and unique ways.
