And here are some people whose work you should definitely follow and learn more about. It was great to give shout outs to the amazing @BlondeHistorian and @BlindDad_Uk from whom I have learnt lots from and continue to do so.
Also, do follow the wonderful work by @extantltd Integrating accessibility creatively to their productions and fostering inclusion.
Also, the wonderful work by @thatLouiseFryer and Pablo Romero-Fresco on integrated access is a must. I consider them to be 2 of the most influential academics in the field and have learnt a lot from reading their work.
Also, why not follow @YorkDisability to find out more about the events taking place? Want to learn more about accessibility, you can follow @blindandb0ujee who runs auditing, consulting and training services @incllewsion
And there& #39;s, of course, our very own @TFTI_UoY @Anna_bd who does wonderful research in the field and has done an outstanding job integrating accessibility teaching to the IM degree!
In terms of reading a good starting point is & #39;Understanding Disability& #39; by Michael Oliver, lots of important discussions on the Social Model of Disability. I also really love & #39;More than Meets the Eye& #39; by Georgina Kleege.
Two wonderful books on the practical side are @thatLouiseFryer& #39;s & #39;An Introduction to Audio Description: A practical guide& #39; and Pablo Romero-Fresco& #39;s & #39;Accessible Filmmaking& #39;. And there& #39;s lots and lots more! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: LĂ€chelndes Gesicht mit lĂ€chelnden Augen">
There& #39;s so many more people whose work is incredibly important to the field that I& #39;m sure I& #39;m forgetting lots of them so feel free to add to this thread. I would also recommend looking into the work by @BenGShirley @thepengineer @Donagh_Sarah @Bad_Ass_Blindy @HarshaBala_
