>>
>> *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.
