This prompt has 2 parts (access the readings through the Course Materials module for the topics below).

Part 1: Developing vs. Developed Countries and Accessibility (read and watch the videos in this section)

There is a wide variation between resource poor and resource rich countries in terms of how physically, socially, medically accessible they are. For this topic I want us to think beyond assumptions you might have about the relative accessibility of particular places. The prompt connected to this topic consists of an exercise. This exercise will allow you to think about the accessibility of places, including our campus.Imagine walking around the CSUEB campus. Describe two successes and two failures in terms of accessibility. What steps do you propose be taken to make our CSUEB campus more accessible? Generate a solution/improvement to campus accessibility. (i.e. wheel chair accessible bathrooms, accessible dorms, blind access to ATMs for English and other languages, access to transportation like the campus shuttle, access to subways, food access, accessibility services, classrooms, labs and other spaces, changes to the campus culture/climate, access to social activities/clubs/associations, campus signage, low/no stimulation areas, service animals allowed without question, scent-free environments, space for pronouns on name badges, image descriptions, transcripts, captions on television, large print versions of handouts, chairs available, signs for events that include accessibility information or information on who to contact if there's an accessibility need for that event.)

What does radical inclusion mean to you in terms of disabilities? Do you see this reflected at CSUEB?

Have you seen this in other countries or places that you have lived? if so, please describe.

Part 2: Language Accessibility for Deaf and Hard of Hearing

There are hundreds (more than 200 in fact) documented sign languages around the world. Reverend Jesse Jackson famously said at a protest for the rights of deaf people in the late 1980s: "The problem is not that deaf people can't hear the problem is that hearing people don't listen." Indeed, deaf and hard of hearing people have historically face oppression and marginalization of their language, culture and community. This topic will allow you to explore this issue more in-depth and think about your own hearing privilege if you possess that.

How could you use your #HearingPrivilege to improve access for deaf and hard of hearing people in the Us and abroad?
