SUMMARY:Ann Gagné on Accessible Language Use for Educators
DESCRIPTION:Ann Gagné on Accessible Language Use for Educators\nDate: Monday\, March 23rd\, 2026 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nRegistration link \nSoTL Speaker Session Description: \nEach area and discipline has language and terminology understood by practitioners and professionals in that field. There is an assumption in our language use that everyone knows what we mean when we use words\, and that assumption can be exclusionary to English as additional language learners (EAL)\, students with accessibility supports\, and international students. This session will explore how to approach language use in an accessible manner in course design\, assignment design\, and teaching facilitation\, through reference to plain language writing\, accessibility tools\, and readability. It will provide tangible strategies and support knowledge translation in your field to different audiences. \nSoTL Speaker’s Bio: \nDr. Ann Gagné (she/her) is Senior Educational Developer\, Accessibility & Inclusion at Brock University. She has worked in higher education for over 22 years. Her work focuses on the need for accessible pedagogies through awareness of disabled lived experiences. She has facilitated workshops and keynotes on accessible pedagogy\, accessible event design\, accessible social media\, and trauma-aware UDL. In March 2023 she started her own podcast Accessagogy\, which talks about accessibility and pedagogy in short (under 15 minute) episodes.

These works may speak to us as learners\, educators\, developers\, researchers\, artists\, and/or simply as humans.  \nFor Winter 2026\, the Fictional Classrooms community will be discussing:  \n\nThe Good Place S02E05 “The Trolley Problem” (TV show) – January 26th \n\n\nIrfan in University (dir. Rıdvan Çevik) (short film) – February 23rd \n\n\nVaathi (dir. Venky Atluri) (film) – March 23rd \n\n\nStoner by John Williams (novel) – April 27th \n\nYou can read about all these selections (and previous selections) in our what to read/watch list.  \nTo join the Fictional Classrooms Community for Winter 2026:  \nPlease sign up as follows:   \n\nVisit https://groups.google.com/search?q=FictionalClassroomsED (you may be prompted to log in to your Google account)\nOn the right-hand side\, click the small “Join” icon (next to the star) and ask to join group.\nMatthew and Robin will approve your request within 2 working days\, and you will then have access to the group\, including their shared Google Folder and Calendar. \n\nNote from Matthew and Robin: We approach the Fictional Classrooms program with a “read-what-you-can” mentality. We understand that we can get busy and may not finish readings each month\, but we encourage you to attend each session regardless of how much you have been able to engage with the text or film so we can still have fruitful conversations and build community.
