More workshops will follow as we find out what folks want to learn (send us your suggestions at libby@ecuad.ca!) and as we develop more connections to Disability communities, knowledge and practices. The series is geared towards ECU staff, faculty and students, and open to the general public.

All workshops will be offered in hybrid formats, and will include ASL interpretation, auto-generated captions (online). We will also share the recorded workshops and transcripts for educational purposes.

We acknowledge the support of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

Nous remercions le Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG) de son soutien.
