Cat obsessed Senior Lecturer in Interactive Media. Researching disability representation, accessibility, inclusive research methods and multimodality.

All views from inside my brain; most should have stayed there.

Very excited to share that from 1st Feb (yes, Saturday) I will be the Head of Creative Technologies in School of Arts & Creative Technologies at University of York. Not quite what I had planned for 2025 a fortnight ago, but very much looking forward to it all the same 🎉

As a disabled web accessibility practitioner. This pisses me off. Extremely.

GENERATIVE AI DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER REPRESENT DISABLED PEOPLE.

Just fucking hire disabled people like me who know what they're doing.

Believing AI over disabled people is ABLEISM and DEHUMANIZING. For fucks sake.

Beyond thrilled that my project to develop an Anti-Ableist Research Methods Toolkit has been funded. We will be running surveys, interviews and co-creation workshops with disabled people and researchers. Next semester has gone from very busy to ridiculously busy, but I’m excited!
