Critically Conscious Pedagogy is a matter of access and inclusion that is under-considered in accessibility and inclusion policy. What good have we done if we bring marginalized students into our classrooms, only to exclude them with curriculum that imply their otherness in the very content? It is not enough to ensure access via accommodation. It is not enough to virtue signal accessibility through universal design. For our students from marginalized communities, their identities are not fringe topics — they are pervasive experiences that shape how they interact with the world, and how the world interacts with them. Centering social justice in all course materials demonstrates an authentic commitment to producing a campus climate that is a place of true belonging for all students.
