The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio is pleased to host a webinar dedicated to Accessibility in Research.  This Resources for Research at Queen’s (R4R@Q) session will be jointly presented by the Co-chair of SSHRC's Advisory Committee on Accessibility and Systemic Ableism Dr. Stefan Sunandan Honisch and the Queen’s Accessibility Coordinator Andrew Ashby.

Stefan Sunandan Honisch will provide an overview of “Accessibility in Research: From Design to Dissemination” a toolkit that he helped develop for Royal Roads University. The toolkit suggests guiding questions and offers concrete recommendations for conducting research that incorporates disability inclusion and access into all phases of a project.

Andrew Ashby will provide a foundational knowledge of accessibility and reducing barriers:

• Why is accessibility important?
• Understanding Accessibility vs Accommodation
• Accessibility barriers
• Increasing accessibility with some easy and quick accessibility wins

Through participation in this workshop, you will learn:

• how to use the toolkit in different research and teaching contexts
• how to move beyond approaches that react to disability through ad hoc individual accommodations
• how to develop disability-inclusive methods of data collection and analysis

Accessibility:

• ASL-English
