Hello Colleagues,
This invitation will apply to some of you if you are visually impaired or deafblind. I know many of you have colleagues with visual impairments who will be eligible to share their experiences about attending scholarly conferences and meetings. Please share this invitation with them. Thanks!
Are you an individual who is blind, low vision, or deafblind/dual sensory impaired? Have you attended a scholarly conference or meeting in the past 10 years? If so, you are invited to participate in an online survey which gathers experiences related to the accessibility of scholarly conferences and meetings for attendees with visual impairments. This study is being conducted by a team of researchers (listed below).
In this research study, scholarly conferences and meetings refer to academic conferences and scientific meetings in any field of study.
To participate, you should be:
-
18 years of age or older
-
Blind, low vision, deafblind or have a dual sensory impairment
-
Have attended at least one scholarly conference or meeting in the past 10 years
-
Able to understand English or French (one of the survey languages)
Postsecondary students, trainees, faculty members and researchers with vision impairments in all fields of study and at all levels are encouraged to participate. The survey is expected to take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
You also have the option to enter a draw to win one of four Amazon gift cards each valued at $50 Canadian.
