#muc2024 @lavolsky: we need more openly disabled lecturers, supervisors, teachers. Pressure to overachieve because they have a unique opportunity. International academic: accessibility needs to be cross sectional, not vertical siloed. First generation: nothing about us without us. Inclusion is NOT an ideology

#muc2024 the Deaf panellist is @lavolsky who gave a great talk at the preceding session. International academic challenges: why do I need to learn how to be a woman in tech? Why can’t recruiters learn to avoid bias? Why lack of accountability? First generation: middle class professors have no idea what it’s like to have a different background

Three perspectives: A Deaf academic, an international academic from India, a first generation academic #muc2024 people don’t know how to work with Deaf people - additional work to educate, get knowledgeable, and having to feel grateful. Lack of information or mentors / role models for international students

When you're working with people from a different culture, you need to show humility and respect, and be prepared to adapt in ways you couldn't have foreseen. And you need to be there in person.

#apple users - check if there are still parts for your 6 year old device! I took in a MacBook Air I got in late 2016, used a lot for travel. Battery health still at 83%, but parts no longer guaranteed to be available. I asked for the battery to be exchanged to make it last another couple of years. #sustainability
