Session 11 (July 10)

Inclusion and Accessibility in Scholarly Communication

AI-generated image of two women in a classroom. One, in a white shirt and blue pants, is leaning back with her feet up, though her feet and legs are in an impossible position. The other, in an orange jacket and black pants, has an arm that seems to end in a ball, a distorted face, and apparently no lower legs.

Image generated by DALL-E in response to the prompt “classroom with professor leaning back and resting feet on desk while a student gives a presentation.” (Look closely—there’s a lot of weird stuff going on in this image!)

Topics will include:

  • Student presentations
  • Trans-inclusive journal policies
  • Accessibility of scholarly publications and conferences

Assignments for July 12:

  • Just the readings.
