Dr. Royce Best spoke at UWP in fall 2021 about Accessible Teaching: Some Places to Start.

This lecture and workshop introduced teachers to some core and guiding principles of accessible pedagogy. Drawing from the field of disability studies, we considered the extent to which our attitudes, policies, and practices are rooted in ableism. We considered and interrogated our classrooms, content delivery, and assessment practices in an attempt to assemble tools for a more accessible future at Hopkins.
