Getting accessibility and inclusion right is tough.
It feels almost – as I found out when attempting to orchestrate a fully accessible and inclusive conference – impossible. So, I have a fair degree of sympathy for institutions in this respect.
In 2019 I was part of a committee tasked with organising an academic conference. Many of the papers being presented focused on inclusivity, diversity, and accessibility in some way. We wanted to hold true to these values and make our conference as accessible and inclusive as possible.
