Welcome to SEWSA 2017!
March 2017
Dear SEWSA participant,
Welcome to the 41st Southeastern Women's Studies Association Conference, #Gender – Embodying, Crafting, & Disrupting ‘the
Digital.’ The conference is hosted by the Gender and Women’s Studies Program at Kennesaw State University and held at the Crowne
Plaza Midtown in Atlanta’s energetic Midtown neighborhood.
Thank you for traveling to join us for three days of events, presentations, and community building in the southeast. Your participation
is valuable, and we have strived to provide you with events and information to make your conference a successful one.
Your conference program and additional registration materials are ready for pick up at the registration desk located on second floor
of the hotel and open between the hours of 12 pm and 5 pm on Thursday (3/23) and between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm on Friday
(3/24) and Saturday (3/25). Information about accessibility, travel, dining, and things to see and do close to the conference site are
available in this welcome packet at sewsa.kennesaw.edu, as well as in hard copy at the conference registration desk. Please feel free
to contact one of the conference co-chairs if you have any questions or requests. Letizia Guglielmo can be reached at
[email protected], and Stacy Keltner can be reached at [email protected].
Best wishes for a busy and productive conference!
Sincerely,
The SEWSA 2017 Organizing Committee

Access Details for SEWSA
We are striving to create an environment that is usable for as many people as possible. We must balance that goal against limited
fiscal resources, an all-volunteer workforce, and the paradox that one person’s accommodation is sometimes another person’s
barrier. We welcome your comments and discussion about how we can create better access at this conference and for future events.1
If you have questions or suggestions about any aspect of accessibility (including mobility, sensory, or gender accessibility), specific
access needs that are not addressed on this website, or if needs arise during the conference, please contact Ari Eisenberg at
[email protected] or 201-247-9755.
Allies: How Every Attendee Contributes to an Accessible Environment
Please consider the following beneficial behaviors to make this conference as accessible as possible for attendees:
● The English language – including the pronouns we use to describe one another – incorrectly presumes that gender is obvious
and readable for each person. We encourage you not assume any person’s gender identity, pronoun usage, or other aspects of
their identities. Whenever you feel unsure, please ask the person to whom you are speaking what pronouns they use, or look
at the pronoun tag or button that some attendees may choose to wear along with their name tag.
● When presenting, keep the following tips in mind:
o Keep your lips visible for those who speech read.
o Use a microphone if one is available.
o If using a Powerpoint or other presentation software, review these techniques for making accessible presentations:
http://webaim.org/techniques/powerpoint/
o Use high color contrast for text in presentations or handouts. Low contrast may be difficult or impossible for colorblind
or low-vision users to read.
o Caption any video/audio content.
o Describe any images/charts you are using, for the benefit of blind or low-vision attendees (general descriptions are
fine; describe any relevant details).
o If you are using paper handouts, electronic versions help people who want enlarged text or who use screen reading
software.
o Animations or other video content (particularly with rapid flashing/strobing) may be migraine or seizure triggers for
some people. Let people know in advance if you will be using them.
Much of the language of this access statement is taken directly or paraphrased from Wiscon’s “Universal Design: Disability Access at Wiscon”
webpage, http://account.wiscon.net/access.php#remain. We are grateful to Wiscon for providing such an excellent model of accessible
conference planning.

● Elevators: A limited number of elevators serve hundreds of people. If you can use the stairways to move between program
floors, please do! If you can only travel down, that still makes an important difference. Some of us absolutely depend on the
elevators for access. The reason might not be visible (arthritic knees or limited breathing); or might be obvious (wheelchair or
canes) -- but the need is still there. Don’t police or questions others’ uses of the elevators, but think about your own needs and
abilities before using them.
● Maintain clear paths: Please be conscious of the “traffic jams” that sometimes occur in doorways and hallways, and how they
can impede others’ mobility. When possible, take your conversations to the hotels’ common areas and leave the hallways
leading to the conference rooms clear. Tuck your belongings in front of your feet or under your seat.
● Share the air: Smoke and scents travel quickly, and air won't move if you ask it to. Washing your hands after smoking makes a
difference. We ask that you limit your use of scented products if you can do so without negatively affecting your health. For
those of us with asthma, migraine, and chemical sensitivities, fewer fragrances, vapors, and particulates make the conference a
place we can attend. Some of us smoke, and some of us don't. The hotel is completely non-smoking, and we ask that you use
the outdoor dedicated smoking area to smoke.
● Service Animal Etiquette: Although interacting with animals is tempting, please don't pet, distract, or take photos of service
animals at the conference. Those of us who rely on service animals need our animals to be able to concentrate on doing their
jobs well.
Helpful Attitudes for Universal Access:
● Offer help – don't assume it's needed: Most of us are taught to "help the handicapped," but not "does this person want or
need help?" If you think someone needs assistance, just ask. If they say yes, don't make assumptions; instead listen to the
details of what the person wants. If they say "no thanks" don't be offended. What might look overly complicated or inefficient
can be what another person finds works best for them.
● Speak up: If you see access barriers, feel free to suggest how to clear them – whether this means talking respectfully to other
members or alerting a SEWSA volunteer or hotel staff.
● Privacy: People are often curious about the details of a visible disability. A member's medical history and details of how their
body functions is private. Please do not ask how someone became disabled or assume their experience is the same as another
person with a similar disability.
Minimizing Stress and Maximizing Comfort
Conferences can be noisy and crowded, which will have different effects on all of us. Some of us feed off of the energy of the crowd;
others will need plenty of down time to rest and recharge after so much sensory overload. Here are some places to find a little quiet:
5
● Quiet Room: We have turned the Piedmont Room on the second floor of the conference hotel into a quiet room. This room will
have low lighting and chairs. Please, if you use this room, do not use your computer or speak to others while in it!
● Nursing Room: There will be a hotel room reserved for anyone needing to feed their child. Please ask the organizers for the
room’s location, as it will most likely be determined on the day-of.
● Outdoors: There are several small green spaces located within a few blocks of the conference hotel. One is located on the
corner of Linden Avenue NW and West Peachtree Street NW, directly across the street from the Crowne Plaza. Another is
adjacent to Emory University Hospital on Peachtree Street NE, one block east of the Crowne Plaza between Linden Avenue NE
and Pine Street NE.
Listening
There is limited availability of CART captioning and ASL interpreting. Please contact Ari Eisenberg at [email protected] to
request captions or an interpreter.
Physical Space Access
The Crowne Plaza hotel offers some – but limited – accessibility for people who use wheelchairs and other assistive devices and for
people with mobility impairments. The Crowne Plaza, like many hotels, segregates restrooms into “men’s” and “women’s” facilities;
however, we will designate several “all-gender” restrooms which will be marked with written signs. Here are a few specific access
notes:
● Parking: Parking for cars (including disabled accessible parking) is located across the street from the hotel at the One Georgia
Center parking structure on Spring Street, and an accessible skyway (7 th floor) connects this parking to the Crowne Plaza.
Parking directly under the One Georgia Center building is not ideal, as you will have to pass through an office building that
restricts access after 6:30 p.m.
● Public transportation: Several MARTA buses stop on the same block as the Crowne Plaza. The North Avenue MARTA train
station is one block north of the Crowne Plaza. All MARTA transportation meets ADA requirements.
● Hotel entryways: The main hotel entrance has automatic entry doors and a car drop-off area. Skyway doors have push-button
access.
● Carpeting: The first floor hotel lobby is uncarpeted, but the conference area (second floor and 25 th floor Sky East room) is
covered in firm, medium-pile carpet.
● Conference rooms: Conference room entrances all have doors with lever handles. The doors are moderately heavy in
weight/resistance. Our volunteers will endeavor to keep all aisles clear, but please notify us if chairs need to be moved to
create better access at any time. Please keep the first row of seats with blue tape in front of them reserved for people who read
6
lips. For the keynote and plenary sessions, the speakers will be amplified. All presentation spaces are on the same level as the
rest of the room.
● Restrooms: Restrooms are large enough to accommodate most wheelchairs, and each has one wheelchair-accessible stall with
grab bars. Doors have lever handles and do not have push-button entry. Each restroom has one diaper-changing station. Please
use the restroom in which you feel most safe and comfortable, and please do not attempt to regulate other people’s restroom
usage.

Another Atlanta favorite also worth a quick Uber/Lyft. Krog Street Market was
designed to be as authentic as the 1920’s warehouse it occupies. With market stalls to
sell produce, goods, and prepared food, along with a few southern-grown restaurants
and retailers, the market offers Atlantans a gathering place of sorts – a locale for
taking in an extraordinary meal or picking up a few inspiring ingredients – a west
coast-style market, right in the heart of Inman Park.

The Atlanta BeltLine is the most comprehensive transportation and economic
development effort ever undertaken in the City of Atlanta and among the largest,
most wide-ranging urban redevelopment programs currently underway in the United
States. The Atlanta BeltLine is a sustainable redevelopment project that is
transforming the city. It will ultimately connect 45 intown neighborhoods via a 22mile loop of multi-use trails, modern streetcar, and parks – all based on railroad
corridors that formerly encircled Atlanta. When completed, it will provide first and
last mile connectivity for regional transportation initiatives and put Atlanta on a path
to 21st century economic growth and sustainability.
