On Track: Making information inclusive (Online) Online
Overview
Have you ever considered whose voices can and cannot be heard in your assignments and research? Or what impact referencing has on the people you are citing? This interactive session is designed to demonstrate the value of good information-sharing principles in both academia and your personal life for the purposes of promoting marginalised voices and making information more accessible. We will reflect on how you engage with information and help you find ways to share your work according to best information-sharing practice.
