I'm so excited to launch this class and hopefully refine it over the next few years, and THANK YOU to everyone who suggested readings or gave feedback this past week. Feedback still welcome!

Curating the readings for this class is the most academic fun I've had in a while, and I hope it's clear that this class is a passion project for me. I really want this class to demonstrate how ideas from disability studies and the foundations of HCI can be in generative conversation.

I'd love to incorporate your favorite examples into my new Design for Accessibility class that I'm developing for spring.
I want students both to understand critical conversations in disability studies and also to put these ideas into action in their design practice

After a fun week of conversations at #assets2025, I'll be traveling to #ieeevis2025 to present this work on accessibility and citational justice. Also, I'm looking for PhD students! See you there!

Benthic is the result of a 6-month co-design process informed by co-author Daniel Hajas’s expertise as a blind HCI researcher. In our study with 15 blind participants, Benthic supported flexible exploration and mental model formation.

Where previous tools focus on tree or graph structures for navigating graphics, Benthic uses hypergraphs to capture both hierarchical and adjacent relationships in a unified structure. This enables perceptually congruent navigation that mirrors how sighted readers explore graphics.
