(I still intend to dress like a toddler).
Very excited to share that from 1st Feb (yes, Saturday) I will be the Head of Creative Technologies in School of Arts & Creative Technologies at University of York. Not quite what I had planned for 2025 a fortnight ago, but very much looking forward to it all the same ๐

a11y-ai Accessibility explained by those impacted. Check any website for barriers and generate the perspective of those who face them.
A11y-AI is an experiment using the storytelling capabilities of generative AI to bring the impact of accessibility violations to life. It aims to inspire web professionals to take action.
As a disabled web accessibility practitioner. This pisses me off. Extremely.
GENERATIVE AI DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER REPRESENT DISABLED PEOPLE.
Just fucking hire disabled people like me who know what they're doing.
Believing AI over disabled people is ABLEISM and DEHUMANIZING. For fucks sake.
Beyond thrilled that my project to develop an Anti-Ableist Research Methods Toolkit has been funded. We will be running surveys, interviews and co-creation workshops with disabled people and researchers. Next semester has gone from very busy to ridiculously busy, but Iโm excited!
