Meeting Description:

The panel addresses IPrA’s special theme (The shape of interaction: the
pragmatics of (a)typicality) by asking how academic communication can be
(re)shaped as an interaction that strives to be inclusive. Inclusive
interaction in higher/tertiary education (HTE) entails but is not restricted
to AVT (e.g., subtitling, audio description, sign language translation), Easy
Languages and Universal Design for digital resources. Students experiencing
barriers bring with them their own resources and sensitivity for interacting,
communicating and acquiring knowledge. We invite contributions that present
research dealing with communicative vulnerability and accommodation strategies
in HTE, the pragmatics of asymmetric, inclusive, accessible, and bias-free
communication in academic interaction and related research on Universal Design
for university/HTE purposes. Methods may include, among others, multimodal
analyses of interaction data, analyses of institutional
talk/text/discourse/media situated in HTE, and studies on the status quo of
research comparing international advances in academic inclusion. The panel is
also open to methodological and theoretical reflections bridging gaps between
pragmatics and disability studies in HTE. We explicitly invite contributions
from deaf scholars and scholars using alternative communication modes (AAC),
as well as from NIICTE members and others working on the topic. Research
questions to be addressed in the panel include:

- Which adaptations in actual academic interaction can accommodate persons who
experience communicative barriers, e.g., auditory or visual, for various
reasons?
- How do terms such as “inclusive”, “barrier-free”, “accessible”, and
“(dis-)ability”, among others, shape institutional communication? How can
inter- and transdisciplinary approaches reach more clarity on the terms and
help reshape interaction in HTE? 
- In which ways can issues of diversity – e.g., culture, multilingual
societies, the individual students’ linguistic competencies in L1 (first
language) and L2 (foreign or second language) and their intersectional needs –
be integrated into an approach that has a broad understanding of inclusion and
relates inclusive communication to accessible, intercultural and bias-free
communication?
- How can knowledge on socio-cultural, linguistic and pragmatic aspects of
inclusive communication be explored, shared and transferred internationally in
HTE, given the great divides that exist, depending on historical and
institutional (pre-)conditions, more or less advanced inclusive institutions
and education systems, and provisions in recognition of the UN Convention on
the Rights of Persons? 

The panel is organised by the International Network on Inclusion and Inclusive
Communication in Tertiary Education (NIICTE), established at the 2021 IPrA
conference. Its purpose is to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration on
inclusion, with a view on how linguistic pragmatics can inform practices of
inclusion and inclusive communication in HTE.
