Qcast - Making your research a conversation for everyone

Have you ever wanted to integrate accessibility into your research practice, but didn’t know where to start? In this QCast, come meet some personas of people with disabilities. Through the principles of accessible usability, you’ll learn about different ways of experiencing the world and how you can open up your research to include them. It’s not as hard as you might think, if you start from the human side of research: learning from varieties of experience, treating differences as an opportunity (not an annoyance), and expanding your own practice to alternative ways of interacting. There will be plenty of tips on the practical details like recruiting, making the research space welcoming, and being flexible during the session for different technologies and needs. We hope this talk will inspire you to take the first step in making your research practice accessible.
