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.
Autumn 2024
The Autumn 2024 CREATE Accessibility Seminar topic is Time, Access, and Disability. We plan to focus on the Time segment from Margaret Price‘s Crip Spacetime book along with other readings. In these readings, we plan to seek out intersectional perspectives.
