Choose one (or more) of the questions below and spend about 10 minutes writing a response. You don’t have to share this if you don’t want to, so you can write it however you like (by hand, on a computer, by dictation, etc.).
- What are your working definitions of equity and accessibility?
- How has the tCUNY 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 part of your reflection (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.
