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:20230309T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230309T170000 DTSTAMP:20260427T172542 CREATED:20230202T182609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230303T011247Z UID:10005580-1678381200-1678381200@wheatoncollege.edu SUMMARY:I Had No Idea You Were Black: Navigating Race on the Road to Leadership DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ronald Crutcher\, President Emeritus returns to Wheaton to celebrate the release of his recently published memoir I Had No Idea You Were Black: Navigating Race on the Road to Leadership.

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.
