002 - Changing the way we think about digital inclusion

When our institution’s websites are unable to pass basic accessibility tests what does that mean for digital inclusion? In this conversation we bring together two Adams and a Richard - Open Lab PhD student Adam Parnaby, Adam Hill from Sunderland Software City and Richard Boggie from VONNE - to talk about how we need to change the way we think about digital inclusion, and begin to consider if the gaps in knowledge lie with the digitally excluded or the people designing digital?

Welcome to the first podcast from Open Lab, an interaction design and human-computer-interaction design lab based in the School of Computing in Newcastle University. As an HCI lab we have been attending CHI for a number of years, and we decided to sit down with a few of our PhD students and Early Career Researchers who are presenting at CHI to talk about their work, what they are looking forward to, and if they have any tips for CHI newcomers.
