[Access Lunch] Next Speaker: Dr. Maitraye Das (UW Create / Northeastern)

[Frank Elavsky]

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.

> 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.
