Produktbeschreibung
This book provides a unique opportunity to explore the current and future state of accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity across higher education and beyond. Although these chapters primarily focus on the issues and resulting adaptations seen in biomedicine, the results and observations are applicable throughout education and the workplace.

Section 1 focuses on what it means to create accessible environments for both education and employment. Here the pitfalls of mandatory attendance across education will be addressed and ideas for building belonging amongst students shared. In addition, ways to use play-based learning to support student revision and to make psychology accessible to medical students will be discussed. Section 2 explores inclusive practices in anatomy education and research, with a toolkit for both early-career and established academics. The pedagogy, psychology, and culture of asking and answering questions in education will also be explored to support educators aiming to create inclusive learning environments. Section 3 focuses on ways in which diversity can be embraced in the educational, medical, and public sectors. Chapters include the use of human remains as teaching aids to promote the concept of the body as a spectrum, and the use of television media to create immersive learning environments.

This book is an essential guide to creating accessible, inclusive, and diverse learning environments for both the early career and experienced academic.
