Haben Girma, a woman with medium-dark skin, dancing hazel eyes, and long dark hair, holds up a book. She’s sitting in a room with flowers and a shelf displaying bowls and framed art in the background.
Haben: I learned a lot, and you will learn a lot! Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech.
Photo: The book cover has arcs of yellow, orange, blue, turquoise, pink, and purple. The lower half features stylized figures, circles, and buildings. Text reads, “Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech, edited by Lainey Feingold, Reginé Gilbert, and Chancey Fleet.”
Haben: 39 authors from around the world came together to provide chapters for this book. I’m one of the authors with a chapter in this book, and beside me is Lainey Feingold who has two chapters in the book. And she’s also one of the editors.
Lainey Feingold, a woman with shoulder-length gray hair, light skin, and glasses with colorful frames, sits in a chair inside the same room.
Lainey: Thank you, Haben. Our offering in this book is a new strategy to help advance disability inclusion in all parts of tech. That strategy is the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework. It’s values-driven. It’s actionable. It encourages all of us to take the actions and ask the questions to make sure disabled people aren’t excluded from tech. We have chapters on gaming and the importance of accessibility for emergency preparedness. Publishing. I wrote a few things on the law, so I’m very excited that it’s here.
Haben holds up the book.
