1:00pm, Zoom–SUNY CPD Presents: STEAM Disciplines: Accessibility in Practice
As the upcoming ADA Title II updates reshape digital accessibility expectations, STEAM disciplines face both shared challenges and unique requirements. We invite you to join us for an engaging webinar designed specifically for professionals across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
This interactive session will explore what accessible digital content looks like in discipline-specific contexts. Together, we’ll examine key implications of the ADA Title II updates and discuss practical strategies for building inclusive, compliant digital environments.
Participants will have the opportunity to connect with colleagues in the same or related disciplines and engage in focused discussion around:
- Common barriers
- Opportunities for shared labor and resources
- Potential solutions, strategies, and tools
- Areas for research and development
Beginning with a brief summary of the concepts explored in Pt. I (exopedagogy, apocalypse, traumatic identities, eucatastrophe, SLEs), this presentation explores multiple definitions of trauma to help us feel-with current cultural wounds while “engaging the traumatic” as an everyday teaching practice. (Live only, no online or recording options available.)
