Rethinking Design for Accessibility

Explore a thought-provoking seminar on rethinking accessibility in technology design, presented by Anne Marie Piper from the University of California, Irvine. Delve into a perspective that views accessibility as collaboratively negotiated, situated, and enacted, drawing from disability studies theories. Examine three case studies that challenge conventional approaches to designing systems for individuals with disabilities, highlighting the interactive nature of accessibility often overlooked in individualistic system design. Gain insights into the social and political dimensions of accessibility alongside technological considerations. Learn from Piper's extensive field work and research in human-computer interaction, focusing on communication, social interaction, and learning technologies for people across the lifespan. Discover how this seminar, part of Stanford's Human-Computer Interaction series, contributes to a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of accessibility in technology design.
