Hi Folks,

Does anyone know someone who works at GitHub that could actually take this
seriously?  I'm looking for a moment similar to when Meghan Markle
protested a sexist ad on TV, and they actually stepped up
<https://youtu.be/Zkb-zg4JCLk>.  The new series on Netflix, "Harry and
Meghan," is great!

Hi Picard,


I did not appreciate the undertone of your email.  The customer is always
right. My question was future-oriented as I conduct research on programmers
with cognitive disabilities.  Yes.  I asked you to enforce specific
security requirements when 2FA was enabled. I also expect you, GitHub, of
all the companies out there to adapt to the changes in authentication and
security requirements as we advance!  Read ?You can add biometric
authentication to your webpage. Here?s how.
<https://stackoverflow.blog/2022/11/16/biometric-authentication-for-web-devs/>
?  Forward this to administrative personnel who make decisions about
security features and development! This will help you increase
accessibility for those with and without cognitive disabilities! See the 2022
Stack Overflow Developer Survey
<https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#section-demographics-disability-status>
for statistics.  Instead of responding to my email with what I asked you to
do, realize that there is something you need to do to improve my
experience. This is way more constructive than enforcing the status quo
which is not going to last as more people shift toward biometric
authentication because of the ease for those with and without disabilities!
Enforcing a policy that taxes me as the customer is outright wrong. Change
the policy.


I also *already* *said *(intentionally emphasized to clearly convey my
frustration with you), ?Otherwise, please make my current email address
chaynesm at andrew.cmu available for use with a new personal account,? yet you
did not do this. Now, another email is required in order for you to get
this done.


Please do the latter while you work on speaking up to administrative staff
and learn how to be in solidarity with your constructive customers when
they are absolutely right!


Sincerely (no undertone and glad to conduct a study on how this could
expand accessibility for those with disabilities.  Think about the blind or
visually impaired, those with motor disabilities, and cognitive
disabilities who may not remember where they put their recovery codes. ...I
am learning more about how to create accessible web applications myself.)

   STEM for All Multiplex January Theme of the Month Panel: Embracing
   Neurodiversity in STEM
   <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://terc.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwvd-6trT0pGda2D0DvESR92jXC0s5rg8sA__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!mMFJHyyo7ZyhEfYih0Tnt_fkidh5rU0jw8D9SlTvZthZkHgW2rRmIRzcAXPWklii2_BlulxMuKM$>
   (STEM for All Multiplex). This panel focuses on the connections between
   neurodiversity and STEM problem solving. Some of the same aspects of
   neurodiversity that are often characterized as deficits in learning are
   accompanied by talents that can be harnessed for STEM problem solving.
   Neurodivergent learners often bring unique strengths to STEM problem
   solving and should be encouraged and supported in their innovative ways of
   thinking. The projects discussed on this panel focus on novel pedagogical
   approaches to highlight neurodivergent thinkers' creativity, persistence,
   attention to detail, systematic thinking while also supporting their
   executive function.

Hello,

I hope people do not mind that I send this email to the accessibility lunch
list. In short, I am looking for someone at CMU to coordinate travel plans
with for attending CHI 2023. No one else in my lab (as far as I can tell)
is going. I am legally blind and have trouble traveling by myself.

Please contact me if you intend on traveling to CHI 2023 and would be
amenable to traveling with me.

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to highly encourage you to sign up for a slot to lead an
Accessibility Lunch:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qK9HtMmbpCI4PKlFNnju2haMWu7C69EP9oSQvGaGgLY/edit#gid=0

There's no single way to do this --  maybe you want to practice an
upcoming talk, or discuss a paper or other reading, or talk about some
ideas for future work, or anything else. It might also be a good
opportunity to bring in someone you know to speak on some topic
relevant to accessibility (e.g., we occasionally have visitors who do
accessibility research or other times folks local to Pittsburgh who
work in some part of the accessibility industry).

Please sign up!

Thanks,
Jeff

   3 Well-Meaning Habits That Frustrate People With Disabilities
   <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewpulrang/2023/01/23/3-well-meaning-habits-that-frustrate-people-with-disabilities/?sh=71e4db004dba__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!g-KsRYQvCHvhN7dvV8t2trz3jds1kaJF-HiUcdwjwaSbMHRPTefoEfFbrZINEtKUlQzm4cutBPactq0$>
   (Forbes) There can be no definitive list of "disability don'ts." But
   here are three of the most common things non-disabled people say and do,
   with the best intentions, that tend to exhaust and exasperate people with
   disabilities.

   One Way to a Better City: Ask Disabled People to Design It
   <https://www.curbed.com/2023/01/david-gissen-on-designing-cities-for-disability.html>
   (Curbed) What would it be like to live in a city designed by, or at least
   with, the disabled? For starters, that metropolis?s main public library and
   its most august museum would not sit atop monumental staircases.The
   designer, historian, and Parsons professor David Gissen opens his book The
   Architecture of Disability with a description of the day in 1990 when
   dozens of protesters jettisoned crutches and wheelchairs and hauled
   themselves up the U.S. Capitol steps on their stomachs or backs.

   Learning the 'Unspoken Rules
   <https://www.chronicle.com/article/learning-the-unspoken-rules?cid=gen_sign_in>
   ? (The Chronicle of Higher Education) Inside the maker space at the
   Rochester Institute of Technology, teams of students from the college?s
   autism-support program are testing 3D printers they just built. The
   machines whir as they pull strands of orange filament from large spools,
   melt the plastic, and squeeze it onto build plates, like frosting from a
   piping bag.

   DEIA: There's no such thing as DEI without Accessibility

 Hi everyone! For this week, (*Wed 2/22 noon-1PM*) we?re excited to have
Hugo Simao presenting on *Understanding Human Values to Guide the
Development of Future Value-Sensitive Robotic Technology.*

*Talk Summary:* We aim to explore older adults' values and perceptions of
technology. Through interviews in different contexts, we found that elders
hold similar values, but their expression and prioritization can vary
depending on their living context. These contextual factors can facilitate
or hinder the expression of values, suggesting opportunities and
considerations for designing technology and robots that align with elders'
values.

As usual, we?ll be in-person (NSH 1109) and on Zoom (

 Hi everyone, for this week?s installment of Access Lunch, we?re thrilled
to have *Dr. Maitraye Das*, current postdoctoral fellow at University of
Washington?s CREATE Center and incoming faculty to Northeastern University
- she?ll be presenting virtually on *Designing for Accessible Collaborative
Content Creation in Ability-Diverse Teams*.

For this week?s lunch, *we?re providing Chipotle!* We?ll take orders from
people who are interested in convening in person at this link (
https://chipotle.com/grouporder/Tj2itT). *We ask that you please keep your
order under $13.50, and provide your name + andrewID when you order.*

As usual, we?ll have our session at *Wed 3/01 noon-1PM *at NSH 1109 and
Zoom (cmu.zoom.us/j/99230267646?pwd=Q2pPRUtBQVJBd25lZmlpNjBYQTZGdz09)

Here's some info from Maitraye about her upcoming talk:
*Designing for Accessible Collaborative Content Creation in Ability-Diverse
Teams*

*Abstract*:
Widely used technologies that support collaboration and content production
contribute to ongoing issues of inequity for disabled people. These tools
do not always allow for the same level of usability and efficiency for
disabled people as their non-disabled peers experience. As workplaces and
educational institutes are continuing to adopt more technology-driven
practices, existing equity gaps are likely to increase without a holistic
understanding of accessibility in content production and new tools to
support accessible collaboration. My research addresses this challenge by
understanding, designing, and building accessible collaborative content
production systems for ability-diverse teams, i.e., teams involving people
with and without disabilities. In this talk, I will provide a quick
overview of the two main directions I have pursued to enhance collaboration
between blind and sighted people: collaborative writing and collaborative
making.

Then I will dive deeper into the case study of collaborative making that
centers around my 3+ years of partnership and fieldwork within a community
weaving studio where blind fiber artists work together with sighted
instructors to produce hand-woven fabrics. Through my design inquiries
involving an audio-enhanced physical loom and an audio-tactile pattern
generation tool, I will discuss ways to better support creative work of
blind weavers and the roles technological augmentations could play in this
traditional form of making. I will conclude with summarizing my future
research plans on augmenting accessibility in collaboration, creativity,
and learning.

Hope to see you Wednesday!

Super excited for Dr. Das! I'm currently writing my literature review for
our HCII Social Mini on what is basically her focus of work (how do blind
and sighted folks collaborate and what role does technology play?).  And
thanks for the Chipotle too.

I'll be bringing a guest master's student as well, Lucas Nadolskis. I'll
forward the chipotle link to him.

Title:?Forging a Path Toward Equity in Smart Public Transit Systems

Abstract
Public transit is the heartbeat of most cities around the world. It gives communities access to employment and services like health and education. Policy recommendations, interventions, and research on public transit often focus on drivers as the primary stakeholder. This same focus is evident in the recent proliferation of machine-learning interventions in public transit technologies. They neglect the influence and impact of these machine-learning interventions on other stakeholders in the public transit ecosystem. This focus runs the risk of automating inequities within future mobility systems.

In this dissertation, I argue that to design for equity in public transit, we should understand the broader public transit ecosystems in which we deploy transit AI technologies. My completed research studies traverse two geographic contexts, East Africa and North America. My work shows an underlying influence of trust on relationships within the ecosystem and unique stakeholder appropriation of transit technologies. Conversely, I also found a suspicion of advanced smart transit interfaces. Thus, I propose that to design for equity in smart transit systems, designers and researchers should consider two dimensions of trust: trust in the interfaces and trust between stakeholders within the ecosystem. My last work focuses on the first dimension, trust in the interface. I co-created the Jacaranda Framework --- a framework of concerns relevant to disabled riders' use of smart transit interfaces. I also demonstrated how principles from the framework could improve users' holistic experience with smart transit interfaces.

This thesis makes the following major contributions: 1) Establishes a multidimensional connection between Trust and Ecosystems, 2) Demonstrates a need to understand the entire ecosystem when considering new technologies, 3) Presents the Jacaranda Framework --- a framework of concerns relevant to disabled riders' use of smart transit interfaces, and 4) Demonstrates how methodologies can be adapted for research in these areas.

Hope to catch you Wednesday!

Hi everyone, sorry for the late update on this week?s Access Lunch. For tomorrow?s session?we?ll have a brief presentation celebrating and showcasing the life and work of disability activist Judith (Judy) Heumann, who passed away around two weeks ago. Not only was Judy considered the ?Mother of the Disability Rights? movement in the United States (and beyond), her fingerprints are all over seminal moments of disability related activism, philanthropy, and policy setting in the US- which we?ll discuss and hope to do justice.

As a stretch goal, I think tomorrow?s session would also be a great time for us to remember and share the various connections that we have with disability outreach and rights groups here in Pittsburgh.

As usual,?we?ll have our session at?Wed 3/22 noon-1PM?at NSH 1109 and Zoom (cmu.zoom.us/j/99230267646?pwd=Q2pPRUtBQVJBd25lZmlpNjBYQTZGdz09).?Food (pizza) will be provided!

hope to see you there,

Title: Inclusive Gaming for Blind People

Abstract
Digital games have become a widely accepted form of entertainment and an important part of social life. However, seldom have games been designed looking beyond the stereotypical young non-disabled gamer. Mainstream games are typically designed around the visual experience, with behaviours and interactions highly dependent on vision, which often leads to players being limited to specific communities and/or games based on their abilities. Attempts at improving cross-ability access to any of those are often limited in the experience they provide or disregard multiplayer experiences.

In this talk, I will cover our work in inclusive gaming for blind people, I will first 1) describe how blind people are playing with others and the inherent challenges, 2) how we explored ability-based asymmetric roles as a design approach to create engaging and challenging mixed-ability play, and lastly 3) how despite inaccessibility, blind content creators are playing mainstream games.

hope to see you then!
Joon

Hey all, with the stay-in-place order and uncertain situation regarding what?s happening at Oakland Catholic High School near campus,?we are cancelling today's Access Lunch. We?ll message again soon about future plans.

In the meantime, please stay safe.
