Course Accessibility Lunch & Learn - Building Space Together: Deaf Students and Hearing Allies in Academia

In academia, Deaf students are often expected to adapt to communication norms and environments designed around hearing people, which creates barriers that are treated as individual problems rather than structural ones. In this talk, Miya (hearing) and Sev (Deaf) reflect on what it means to build space together across differences: recognizing that Deaf students bring values, knowledge, and ways of learning that matter, listening instead of assuming, and treating obstacles as places where support and shared responsibility are needed. Over time, allyship becomes less about “helping” and more about mutual learning and co-creating better classrooms, research groups, and collaborations. Because no one succeeds in isolation, every role matters in building academic space: classmates, instructors, mentors, and coworkers. Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: ats-events@uw.edu. Event Types: Academics. Event sponsors: Accessible Technology Services. Tuesday, March 3, 2026, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM. Zoom (see registration link).

Accessibility Lunch & Learn: What do I do with all these PDFs? Inventorying and Assessing your PDF Backlog

In this guided workshop, you will receive tips and a shared, guided document to help you and your team take the first crucial steps toward creating strategy for dealing with your PDF backlog: inventory and assessment. It's much easier to create a long-term plan for handling the challenges posed by PDFs if you build a deeper awareness of how many you have, how they were created, and the purpose they serve. Inventorying and assessing your existing PDF backlog can also help you make informed choices about appropriate alternatives to PDFs in future workflow decisions. Please note: This is a strategy workshop, so we won't be covering how to remediate PDFs or demonstrating tools. Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: ats-events@uw.edu.
