b. accessibility and inclusivity

Here are the specific measures that were taken to ensure inclusivity in this book’s content AND how students can gain access to that inclusive content.

What this all means is the following:

ACCESS

This book is accessible in both paper and digital formats. The digital is free; the paper format is available through Amazon and students only pay for the paper since the book is under a $0 royalty.
The digital formats come in Google Doc, Microsoft Word, PDF for print, and PDF for screen-readers. These formats are all available at: bit.ly/NDSCS-Open-Folder
The book may be printed in Large Print eventually.
Audio chapters will be offered via the LMS or a Google folder.

INCLUSIVITY

Most of the he/she pronouns have been flipped for they/them pronouns.
“White-sounding” names have been replaced by more diverse ones.
“Husband” or “wife” have been replaced by “partner.”
The majority of examples in this book, by students or otherwise, are not written by white, heterosexual, cisgender men.
