Pushing the boundaries of participatory research with people with learning di...Jane65
Presentation at ESRC funded seminar series in which Jane Seale summarises the main themes and issues that have arisen from the presentations across the seminar series: focusing particularly on spaces and boundaries
This is an unofficial crowd-sourced document reflecting the impact and ideas shared at TEDxDUMBO (2010). The content was sourced from the audience live at the event. This document is offered in the context of a presentation reflecting on the practice of crowd-sourcing, participatory art, and rapid prototyping; and how this practice can influence the way we think about sharing our work.
Grappling with Unconscious Bias in the Library SettingNCIL - STAR_Net
The STAR Library Network is thrilled to welcome Ava Holliday and Aparna Rajagopal, Founding Partners of The Avarna Group (theavarnagroup.com), to help us kick-off the 2020 STAR Net Webinar Series with a special 90 minute webinar on a very important topic: unconscious (or implicit) bias. No matter how good our intentions may be, we are all susceptible to forming social stereotypes about certain groups of people outside of our own conscious awareness. The library setting is a place of equitable and inclusive lifelong learning, and by better understanding unconscious bias and the role it plays in our libraries, we can better serve our communities.
In this 90 minute webinar, guest presenters from The Avarna Group will introduce the framework of unconscious bias to describe some of the challenges that well-intentioned people who are doing good JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, inclusion) work face. This webinar will examine ways that bias manifests in two lenses: our individual thoughts and actions, and also within specific aspects of your library, including programming, the built environment, collections, and more. Webinar participants will walk away with a more clear understanding of how unconscious bias functions and how to identify and mitigate it.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. Accessibility PoPo
Now, some of you are wondering if we’re the Accessibility Police. I’ve heard you talking about these folks — they’re the ones that keep you from using content,
tell you that your content needs massive changes,
and they serve as a MAJOR barrier to adopting many OERs…
And here’s who the PoPo want to stick in the Pokey…

5. I didn’t do it!
Esperanza Zenon from River Parishes Community College in Louisiana, which incidentally is not too far from Plaquemines Louisiana — that’s where, during the great
flood of 1927 the levees were dynamited to let the Mississippi loose upriver so the folks in New Orleans didn’t flood. It displaced families, they lost their homes, no
compensation. There’s a great Randy Newman song about it — Louisiana 1927… I digress… Our criminal says she didn’t do it. What we know is this:
SHE DID CREATE A COURSE FOR PHYSICAL SCIENCES ENTIRELY FROM OPEN RESOURCES.
SHE DID CHOOSE THE RESOURCES FROM VARIOUS LOCATIONS. She’s a sleuth — she used libratexts, openstax, OER commons, Lumen… basically she used the
Web. And she checked the resources for accessibility — she used the WAVE accessibility checker. She even used the Developer Tools in her browser to look at the HTML
to see if there was alt text for the images. She had a PDF version, an ePub version, a DAISY version, and the Web. She is OER-woke.
Her campus accessibility popo said no… they said you have 3 options:
- find the original author and maybe they’ll fix it
- Fix it yourself — edit the HTML, caption the videos
- Abandon it — we call this subtractive accessibility
This is the context you’re working in…
6. Check Yourself
• WAVE accessibility checker
• AChecker
• Colour Contrast Checker
• USE the best checker around: Your MIND
Bew
are
the
Checker
You should be familiar with these resources for checking your content. If you make any content (text, audio, video or any combination) please be familiar with these
checkers…
Some of you are thinking — thank goodness, someone is finally telling us how to make sure we’re making accessible content… But you’re thinking we’re the accessibility
police again — FOLLOW THE LAW. We are not…
There is no checklist — the accessibility police are checking you against something that is changing and moving and requires interpretation and thinking.
Beware the checker
7. She DIDN’T do it!
It’s true… she didn’t do it. She used all the resources available to her.
We have a lack of clarity about who is responsible, who must have the skills. So the Popo look at the checker, but the checker isn’t always super smart… It shows errors
that aren’t errors in the content but of the “container” or in some cases errors that aren’t significant and do not degrade the experience for the user who uses a screen
reader.
8. Why are we doing
this?
Why are we doing it
so badly?
Taxonomies and Sorting…
Inclusive Design is design that considers the full range of human diversity with respect to ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human difference. But how do we know everything about everybody and all this difference is overwhelming!
First, you have to think differently…
9. Disability
And it is often associated with the medical model of 4 main categories of
disabilities:
mobility impaired
cognitively impaired
hearing impaired
seeing impaired
But at the IDRC we completely redefine disability. It isn’t a medical condition to us…>>>
11. The Problem with
One-Size-Fits-ALL
• People are not categories
• People deserve agency; have
different needs + preferences
• Us versus Them
• Are we really treating them as
people??
• treats people with different abilities as a homogeneous group
• ignore the multiplicity of needs and preferences — right to dignity
• marginalizes with one-off solutions for particular populations
• Who is us? who is them??
12. • Pace, Path, Content, Delivery Method
• text, visual, sonification, video…
• individual, group, didactic, participatory
• Motivation – external, internal, positive,
negative
• Social support – peer, instructor, other
• Degree of structure
What is personalization in inclusive spaces?
It is all of these things — and this is a lot. We have a lot of opportunities to let the individual decide.
13. Disability is Mismatch
Mismatch is Solvable
Design can solve Mismatch
All experience Mismatch
When my hands are full and I walk up to my car — can I open the door without my hands?
Making content available to those with cognitive disabilities often means simplifying the content — you know who else benefits from that? What about the executive 2-pager? In some cases it’s become a 1-
pager — they’re busy, they don’t have time or energy to focus. They are cognitively impaired at that moment.
I was sitting in a lecture and I got a video from a friend — I wanted to watch it right away (i assure you it was relevant to the lecture) but it had no captions and I had the volume off. Putting earbuds or
headphone on would have been too disrespectful so i couldn’t watch it.
I wanted to work on this slide deck in the park yesterday — it was so beautiful out — but the sun was shining directly onto my screen making it impossible for me to read my monitor. I can change the
brightness and contrast though — this simple solution also helps the sight impaired user who has partial sight but needs slight modifications.

14. The magic at the
margins
• the edge case and the edge
scenario
• innovation
• benefits the majority
• supports the spectrum
• resiliency & adaptability
Instead of fearing the edges or trying to forget them we should be focusing on them.

Email
Text messaging
15. One-size-fits-one
• Flexible
• Accessible
• Meet people where they are
FLEXIBLE (levels of complexity) – ecosystem of tools? One adaptable tool? Give user ability to choose from multiple ways to interact. E.g. keyboard vs mouse interaction,
iphone provides multiple ways to take a photo
ACCESSIBLE – avoiding assumptions about comfort with tech, ability, environment
MEET USERS WHERE THEY ARE ((comfort level, environment, context)
16. Diversity is a number;
Inclusion is a process;
Equity is an outcome
Barbara Chow
beware the cycles of exclusion
17. Met someone from Tulsa, Oklahoma here this week and we talked about the Gathering Place.
18. We aren’t the a11y popo. My esteemed college described us yesterday as the accessibility batpeople. Put the symbol in the air, raise your hand, ask for help, participate
in a community that discusses how to make this stuff happen and PRACTICE. The work of making education accessible and inclusive will not ever be complete —
because it’s a practice, not a task. We have to keep bathing every day — we also have to keep thinking about what works and for whom — everyday.
