包容性和可访问性考虑

  • Be intentional about addressing a diverse audience with visible and invisible identities that may include all abilities, 种族, 性别, 地理位置, 国家, 比赛, 性取向, 以及社会经济地位. 
  • Inclusive language is constantly evolving and context dependent. There may be reasons that you use language that would otherwise be ill-advised. If this is the case, be transparent and provide context for your terminology. 
  • Make sure that statistics, demographic data or trends presented are diverse-conscious. This means being transparent about who is and who is not included as well as the potential implications of that. 
  • Use visuals to support your ideas but keep images simple and easy to understand and follow principles listed below about making your materials accessible. 
  • When presenting, describe slides and graphics briefly. For example: “This graph illustrates these key points…” 
  • 即使你有一个响亮的老师的声音, use the microphone for those who might have trouble hearing you.  
  • For presentations that include video, ensure the video has been captioned and display the captions. 
  • Offer to describe your poster or bring a file with your poster in text or descriptive PowerPoint format for attendees who experience blindness or low vision.
