Spotlight on accessibility and inclusivity at UXA2021
There is no such thing as good user experience that excludes or marginalises people. And we’ve really only recognised in the last decade, how embedded our biases are in the systems we use and the experiences we create.
All UX professionals want to do better in this area and we’re proud to be hosting speakers and partnering with sponsors who are actively making a difference. Here’s some of the valuable wisdom and practical advice on offer at UX Australia 2021.
Design Thinking for Building Equitable Teams
Steven Wakabayashi is founder and president of QTBIPOC Design. His day two keynote is about how to update our current thinking on diversity and modify our everyday design processes and hiring practices to create more equitable teams.
Kim Chatterjee brings her unique storytelling style to a presentation about how good design can empower, include, unblock, and give people a way to step into a new identity. And how thoughtful design can create positive and meaningful ripple effects in people's lives.
The Why, When and How of including people with disability in the design process
Charlii Parker is a digital accessibility consultant who will share how to codify the inclusion of people with a disability in everyday design practices. Learn how to go beyond ‘minimum requirements’ and WCAG standards to create excellent accessible experiences.
Mapping Hate - Deconstructing the Ecosystem
Highly experienced design consultant Erin Malone is currently working with the Anti-Defamation League's Center for Technology and Society, fighting hate in online social spaces and games. In her insightful talk, learn what the landscape of online hate looks like and how it is designed.
