Finally, as next week is Spring Break, there will not be an Access Lunch session, but we’re planning on being back after that on Wed 3/15.

Catch you after the break!

> > 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.
