CSE590W: Accessibility Research Seminar

Instructors

Who can attend? CREATE members and students at any level who are excited about topics of Time, Disability, and Access. Those who can't register directly for the course should reach out to Aashaka or Gina.

Seminar Expectations

Please remember to help us create an inclusive, respectful, and accessible environment for all participants. This means many things but some examples are: taking turns when speaking, identifying yourself while speaking, remembering to do the reading if any is required, listen and avoid assuming you know what others experience; do the work to teach yourself and learn together; check in regularly; and let others speak before speaking again.

To sign up for the seminar and mailing list after the first week of the quarter, please email Aashaka at aashakad@cs.washington.edu.

Seminar Format

This quarter, we will explore crip notions of time. Each week, we will be examining one aspect of technology and/or tech culture through the lens of crip time. We will be engaging with disability studies theories as well as other forms of popular media. Please be sure to do the readings before class and engage respectfully in our discussions. Please note the below schedule is tentative -- check the mailing list announcement for confirmed readings and links to accessible copies.
