DESCRIPTION:In this project, Tameron Carter explores how writing assignment
s are composed for accessibility. Writing instruction pedagogy has recentl
y found an increasing need for interlocking accessibility research and sta
ndards with course and material composition. As a result of this identifie
d need, scholars have performed a great deal of research on accessibility
standards and barriers measurable effects on diverse student bodies.This p
roject builds on this research and utilizes the coding of a limited sample
of college-level writing assignments with some degree of reflective compo
nents, seeking to understand linguistic, cognitive, cultural, and educatio
nal theories of accessibility in practice. The project analyzes a series o
f ten assignments gathered from five different professors who spent some p
art of their academic journey (as students and/or instructors) in the Engl
ish and Communication Department at the University of Massachusetts Dartmo
