Higher education prides itself on fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, well, at least when it comes to students. But what about staff who face the same systemic barriers? For example, lets talk about our Indigenous and disabled employees in academia who are often left out of the conversation, despite experiencing the same financial and institutional struggles as the students they serve.

So I thought I'd take the time to explain some ideas in the inclusive and equitable education space as well as my own particular love for universal design for learning (UDL). I also have one little gripe but it's less about any given accessible design framework and more systemic. Stay tuned till the end for that one!
