Elder Larry Grant is a Faculty Fellow of the College. \n  \nThe sympsosium will offer: \n\nPapers (20 minutes\, with 10 minutes for discussion)\nLecture Recitals (30 minutes\, with discussion)\nWorkshops (1 hour)\n\n  \nAccess Supports for the Symposium: \nThe symposium organizers will provide maximum access support to the best of our ability. \nThe symposium is in a hybrid format\, welcoming both online and in-person synchronous presentations. All symposium sessions will include Sign Language interpretation\, and Communication Access Real Time (CART) captioning. In addition\, hired students will be available to provide help moving around the University of British Columbia for both days of the symposium. All symposium materials will be available in large print format (24 point\, Sans Serif).  For participants attending in person\, there will be a designated quiet room\, and we will provide a scent-free environment. For participants attending online (Zoom)\, participating in discussion both by speaking and by typing will be available. Symposium organizers will read typed comments and questions aloud for everyone. For online sessions\, we will ask participants to avoid using emojis\, and to refrain from typing comments during sessions\, to avoid access barriers for people using assistive technology. \nIf you wish to discuss specific access needs with us at any point\, please feel welcome to write to the symposium organizers using the dedicated email address provided below. \n  \nIf you have any questions or concerns\, please email musiccollectiveaccess@gmail.com. \n
