[Access Lunch] Reading for Thursday Feb 18th

[Joon Jang]

Hi all, I hope you’re all safe and well!

For this week’s reading, I wanted us to discuss what kind of exposure and consideration undergraduates and graduate students have with disability and accessibility - and the paper for this week is “Understanding the Motivations of Final-year Computing Undergraduates for Considering Accessibility” by Conn et al. which was published in ACM TOCE20. (attached to the email)

This particular paper considers only undergraduate students who majored in STEM disciplines, but it would be great to get everyone’s experiences and observations from their home university with respect to how access is addressed at a curricular or campus culture level. If you have any notes you’d like to share, please feel free to share them here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZxCm-vV0OhmL7vSvVcgS_Zey9-dEH8gOnOAnPpzNynM/edit?usp=sharing).

For those short on time, I’d recommend Section 5.1 and 7 (“Analysis and Findings” and “Discussion” respectively).

As always, join us at Accessibility Lunch on Thursday, February 18th at 1:30 PM Eastern Time here:

We welcome this message to be shared outside of HCII with anyone interested in accessibility, disability, and technology, but please do not post the Zoom link publicly.

Please stay safe (and warm)!
Joon
