Ameera Ali joins the centre to discuss "Transcending Equality: Increasing Equity and Accessibility in University Classrooms"

Transcending Equality: Increasing Equity and Accessibility in University ClassroomsThis interactive talk will discuss how to make university classrooms more equitable and accessible through the implementation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—a framework for accessible teaching and learning. The talk will introduce participants to the tenets of UDL and we will discuss how to implement these principles in university classrooms through our pedagogy and praxis, to create accessible educational spaces and opportunities for students. As maintained by UDL, the classroom environment is to be a space where all students can thrive; as such, this talk will also evoke how UDL works to make classrooms more accessible for many equity seeking groups. Lastly, although the term ‘universal’ remains directly embedded within its name, this talk will also touch on the ways in which UDL may not be entirely universal as we consider how particular strategies may be effective for some students, yet inadvertently disadvantage others. We will discuss these implications while being mindful of the ethical considerations of teaching and learning.Ameera Ali, York University, Gender, Feminist, and Women’s Studies04:30 PM - 06:00 PMCentre for Ethics, University of Toronto200 Larkin
