However\, the field of Critical Access Studies has emerged in the last 10-15 years to raise additional questions of what counts as access\, who benefits\, and how designers can know. Aimi Hamraie will discuss some of the insights of Critical Access Studies that can better inform the theory and practice of accessible design. \nAimi Hamraie is Associate Professor of Medicine\, Health\, & Society and American Studies at Vanderbilt University\, and director of the Critical Design Lab\, a collaborative of disabled designers\, artists\, and researchers working within a disability culture framework. Hamraie is also the author of Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability. They are a recent appointee to the United States Access Board. \nJoin Zoom Event here. \n\nDesigning for Difference brings innovative design leaders\, thinkers and humanists to campus\, to celebrate the inauguration of Wheaton’s new Design program.

Sara is a humanist in tech—an artist\, design researcher\, writer\, and professor at Olin College of Engineering. \nMost people think about prosthetics in a posthuman future: novel tools and materials to augment the body and overcome its limitations. Or we think of inclusive or barrier-free design\, efforts to make the built world accessible to people whose bodies fall outside the range of normal. But what if there’s a deeper invitation hidden in the built environment\, clues that lie in all its shapes and sizes? Sara Hendren walks us through products\, furniture\, buildings\, and city streets to locate the desirable forms of assistance that beckon all of us. \nSara’s book\,  What Can A Body Do? How We Meet the Built World explores the places where disability shows up in design at all scales: assistive technology\, furniture\, architecture\, urban planning\, and more. It was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by NPR and won the 2021 Science in Society Journalism book prize. Her art and design works have been exhibited in museums worldwide and are held in the permanent collections at MoMA and the Cooper Hewitt. In 2021-22\, she was Lecturer in Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a fellow in Education Policy at the New America think tank\, where she was researching the future of work for adults with cognitive and developmental disabilities. \n\nDesigning for Difference brings innovative design leaders\, thinkers and humanists to campus\, to celebrate the inauguration of Wheaton’s new Design program. Anchored in the History and Theory of Design course\, this spring the WIIH asks students\, staff\, and faculty to challenge the concept of “normal” and reconsider what makes design inclusive.  All events are open to the public. \nPresented by the Evelyn Danzig Haas ’39 Visiting Artists Program.  URL:https://wheatoncollege.edu/event/cyborg-arms-and-robot-caregivers-design-for-an-interdependent-future/ LOCATION:Watson Fine Arts – Ellison Lecture Hall\, Norton\, MA\, 02766 CATEGORIES:Academic,Arts,Diversity ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wheatoncollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/150-pixels-Hendren-1200.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Ellen McBreen":MAILTO:mcbreen_ellen@wheatoncollege.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230215T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230215T190000 DTSTAMP:20260415T173021 CREATED:20221206T191348Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221206T191348Z UID:10005183-1676484000-1676487600@wheatoncollege.edu SUMMARY:The Importance of DEI in the Workplace & Creating an Enriching Experience DESCRIPTION:AlphaSights gives investment and business leaders dynamic access to industry professionals and their unique perspectives in real time\, so they can make decisions that redefine industries and create a better tomorrow.
