EDI | Educational Resources
Athena Swan Ireland has developed a resource - EDI Literacy Glossary - to support understanding of inclusive approaches to equality work in higher education and research in Ireland.
Normalising the practice of sharing pronouns can help to build a more inclusive environment. Sharing your own pronouns can create an invitation for others to do the same and signals a safe space for people who are transgender or non-binary.
The EDI team has developed a short Pronouns at Work Guide to support staff in understanding and using pronouns.
Agus muid ag tacú lenár gcomhghleacaithe agus lenár mic léinn a bhfuil Gaeilge acu, tá áthas orainn aistriúcháin Ghaeilge a chur ar fáil d'fhorainmneacha a d'fhéadfá a úsáid. Nuair a léirítear forainmneacha ag deireadh rphoist, nó é a chur san áireamh i d'ainm úsáideora ar Zoom, ar Twitter, nó ar do chuntas LinkedIn, cuidíonn sé seo le feiceálacht. Tugann sé seo deis duit na forainmneacha pearsanta a úsáideann tú féin a léiriú chomh maith.
Seo chugaibh forainmneacha rialta a úsáidtear sa Bhéarla agus a macasamhail sa Ghaeilge: Siad/Iad (They/Them); Sí/Í (She/Her) and Sé/É (He/Him).
This resource pack from Advance HE centres the contributions of international students in higher education and encourages academic staff to think about their role in developing inclusive and supportive pedagogies for and with them.
Universal Design
Universal Design within your ways working relates to the way in which you design and deliver your outputs. This could be the way you organise a meeting, or the way you develop a document or even, the way you send an email.
Adopting inclusive way of working means your outputs can be accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people regardless of their ability or disability, gender, age, race, family status or any other protected characteristic.
By considering the diverse needs and abilities of all staff, students and stakeholders in the design and delivery of your work, you will create outputs that meet peoples' needs in way that is effective and efficient.
The 7 Principles of Universal Design
- Equitable Use
- Flexibility in Use
- Simple and Intuitive Use
- Perceptible Information
- Tolerance for Error
- Low Physical Effort
- Size and Space for Approach and Use
