There's a great post over at Feminist Philosophers on the topic of how to make conferences more accessible for people with disabilities. It is an important but difficult issue, as Magical Erzatz (author of the post) recognizes from the start:
Trying to design an accessible conference can be a confusing, even intimidating, process. The experiences of disabled people are so varied that there’s no way you can predict the appropriate accommodations for everyone, and sometimes an accommodation for one disability can be actually be hindrance for another. It can be hard to know where to start. But while we probably won’t get things exactly right, I suspect that in philosophy we could be doing much better.
Do check out the post for some suggestions and recommendations! (The comments are worth reading too.)
