Digital Accessible Futures (Digital AF) Lab @ the University of Michigan
Digital AF Lab Logo. Two rainbow hands signing the letters ‘A’ and ‘F’ with the words ‘Accessible Futures’ underneath in black.
The Digital AF Lab will focus on pressing issues at the intersections of disability justice, techno-ableism, anti-racist praxis, neuroqueer activism, and critical accessibility studies. Digital AF centers crip wisdom —e.g. care networks, digitally mediated mutual aid, and the deep learning that attends lived experience of disability — in its articulations of disability justice and desires for a future filled with (rather than free from) disability.
This lab will convene charrettes on access and remote pedagogy, collaborate on public-facing writing projects, and cultivate STEM-oriented curricula on radical access and crip possibility.
A plastic button with black text reading ‘Neuroqueer’ and a rainbow infinity sign appears on top of a floral print cloth.
