COLTT 2020 Keynote Speaker: Amy Collier, Associate Provost for Digital Learning at Middlebury College
From Curb Cuts to Discotechs: How Inclusive Design and Design Justice Can Shape our Classes and Communities
Inclusive design and design justice aim to address inequities in the designs of systems, spaces, tools, social structures. In education, inclusive design and design justice call us to recognize how our classes can contribute to marginalization and disenfranchisement of students, and what lenses and practices we can use to embrace inclusion as an ethos. Using examples from inclusive design and design justice work inside and outside of educational settings, Dr. Amy Collier will provoke conversations and provide activities to explore small and big moves faculty can make to improve inclusion in their courses and, by extension, in their communities.
