Read the questions below. Choose one (or more) and render them artistically in some way. Spend about 10 minutes on this exercise.

You might draw a comic. You might paint a picture. You might sketch. You might make some kind of map or other kind of representation. 

• What are your working definitions of equity and accessibility? 

• How has the Teach@CUNY Summer Institute contributed so far to those definitions? How have your experiences at the Graduate Center contributed to them? 

• Do you see intersections between equity and accessibility? Are they the same thing? How might equity and accessibility differ from equality, inclusion, diversity, or social justice? 

• How might the online learning context worsen existing inequities and make spaces less accessible? What might the online learning context afford that the face-to-face context doesn’t offer?

• What in your personal and academic / intellectual experiences as a teacher, a learner, and a person who embodies many identity positions has prepared you to answer these questions?

If you feel comfortable, share a picture of what you made (or just tell us about it) on the #equity-and-access Slack channel. What did it feel like to reflect in this way? Please make sure to mention that you’re on Module 1, Part 1 since we might be working through the workshop at a different pace.
