My research, pedagogy, and service is driven by a disability-centered approach that privileges access and inclusion as a primary consideration. My work is governed by the belief that accessible design is good for everyone as it encourages us to rethink our assumptions and approaches from a more flexible and creative angle. The research and positions detailed below illustrate my broad approach to accessibility in terms of disability education and diversity and inclusion more broadly.
