Quarterly Seminar on Accessibility Research
The CREATE Accessibility Seminar, CSE 590w - Accessibility Research, brings students and faculty together to explore a variety of topics relating to accessibility and technology. In the Fall, we usually read a book together. Spring seminars are usually short research presentations, followed by discussion and critical evaluations.
