Description
Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech is a groundbreaking collection of 32 chapters written by 39 disabled and nondisabled authors from 10 countries and one commonwealth. It is the first book on digital accessibility ethics and will be published on May 6th by CRC Press / Taylor & Francis Group.
The book introduces the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework. It’s an action-oriented three-part tool designed to disrupt disability exclusion in tech with values, actions and questions.
The chapters apply the Framework through stories, strategies and best practices to a wide range of issues: from cybersecurity to artificial intelligence, from accessibility practitioner burnout to voting, marketing, hackathons, publishing and more.
Lainey Feingold, an editor of the book who also contributed two chapters, will be at AccessU delivering the first ever workshop on Digital Accessibility Ethics. Knowing the long-time commitment to digital accessibility at this event -- and knowing other authors will be attending the conference -- Lainey selected AccessU and Austin to hold this book launch and signing event.
Please come join us to meet Lainey and the other authors and learn about the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework, a living document destined to change and grow as it ventures into the world and is put into practice.
