Looking forward to participating in this! Please spread the word to other disabled researchers; there will be time for questions and discussion with attendees as well. @DisabledAcadem @DisInHigherEd @BlkDisHigherEd @StemDisabled @DisInGradSchool @ashegrads @DREAMdisability
On April 25, IES will host a listening session for researchers with disabilities to share about becoming an education researcher, applying for grants, and conducting research. The session is aimed at broadening participation in IES grants: eventbrite.com/e/leveraging-… #NCSER #NCER

As a DeafBlind person, I feel torn about the trend of people describing their physical appearance during meetings for those who are blind/low vision. I appreciate the effort to make things more accessible and inclusive. Truly & deeply, but-- 1/

One thing I did not anticipate about moving to an R1 was just how psychologically damaging being in proximity to so much violent autism research would be I can't drive to campus without thinking about how my employer is invested in people like me not existing

Can you spot the difference between these two pictures? Using a busy gradient or printed background can make your content difficult to read! Using a plain background can improve accessibility! #BusyBackground #Gradient #Presentation #MediaPost #Accessibility
