Arqus and the UGR Language Services Unit launch an English glossary on inclusion and accessibility in higher education

The Language Tools group within the Arqus Plurilingual and Intercultural Hub and the Language Services Unit (USL) of the Vice-Rectorate for Internationalization of the University of Granada (UGR) have produced the ArqusTerm English Glossary: Key Terms and Definitions for Inclusion and Accessibility in Higher Education. The glossary aims to serve as a benchmark for discussion in the field of inclusion and accessibility, both within the Alliance and in other bodies within the framework of higher education.

As part of the Alliance’s focus on inclusion, the first edition of the ArqusTerm English Glossary: Key Terms and Definitions for Inclusion and Accessibility in Higher Education has been released in alignment with the Arqus Termbase, the Alliance’s multilingual terminology database.

Meticulously compiled through in-depth analyses of relevant sources, the glossary comprises 210 carefully curated entries, listed alphabetically in a downloadable PDF file. The glossary terms will soon also be available for consultation in the Arqus Termbase terminology collections.

This glossary is intended not only to facilitate communication and debate within the Alliance, but also to contribute to the broader discourse on inclusion and accessibility in higher education. The goal of this initial document is to disseminate information about these concepts and the preferred terminology in the field, to promote understanding and advance knowledge.

The intended audience for this work includes students, alumni, academics and technical and administrative staff, as well as other university stakeholders and those engaged in the vital field of inclusion and accessibility.
