Misfit Lab Reading Group
This is a self-directed list of suggested readings from the Misfit Lab.
Introduction. There is a long history of disabled and non-disabled people using (and designing and developing) technology to assist and augment people’s lives. What are some of the ways technology can assist disabled people? How might one use technology to support access needs in communities? How does our understanding of disability change the ways in which we might design and develop technology? This reading group explores research on creating supportive technology for communities of disabled and non-disabled people.
