Black Family Visual Arts Center, Room 301

In 2019 the U.S. Department of Education estimated that 19% of undergraduate students in the U.S. have a disability. This workshop approaches disability as an opportunity to improve our teaching and develop more inclusive practices. Alicia J. Brandon, Associate Director of Student Accessibility Services at Dartmouth, will share information about the student accommodations process and some common barriers students with disabilities face in writing courses and when engaging in the writing process. Annika Konrad, a new Senior Lecturer in IWR whose research focuses on disability, rhetoric, and pedagogy, will introduce Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and together we will begin applying UDL to common teaching practices in writing and rhetoric courses. We will leave this workshop with short- and long-term goals for improving our teaching by making our pedagogies more accessible and inclusive for everyone.
