We are pleased to announce that Boris Vukovic has been appointed to the role of Director of the Research, Education, Accessibility, and Design (READ) Initiative.
READ is an initiative to build the capacity for a Centre of Excellence in accessibility at Carleton to recognize its long-standing leadership in this area and to further advance the research, education, development and design in accessibility.
As a Carleton graduate, Boris had his first permanent appointment with the Paul Menton Centre (PMC) in 2002. Since that time, he has provided key contributions to the development of standards for disability assessments, documentation, accommodations and service provision at the PMC.
Boris has a PhD from McGill University with research focused on faculty attitudes and practices in inclusive and accessible pedagogy. He has over 10 years experience in collaborating with Carleton faculty and the Education Development Centre on issues of accessibility related to teaching and learning in higher education with particular emphasis on non-visible disabilities.
Please join us in welcoming Boris in his new role as we continue to further promote Carleton’s culture of accessibility.
