SUMMARY:Friday Frontiers: Nasrine Olson “Bridging Sensory Gaps: Innovatio
 ns for Inclusivity”
DESCRIPTION:Registration Link: https://dariah.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZY
 pde-urTkvE9TT68rF0Kf_Vxsqa8YapLhl\n\nFriday 10.30 GMT / 11.30 CET / 12.30 
 EET\n\nWith around 15% of the global population experiencing some form of 
 disability\, have we truly considered what ‘inclusion’ and ‘equal op
 portunity’ means for all? This talk confronts the reality that most spac
 es\, technologies\, and innovations are predominantly designed for individ
 uals with all senses and functionalities intact. How would you as a person
  with deafblindness navigate the world – a world filled with navigation 
 and mobility challenges\, inaccessible information\, and technologies that
  rely on the senses of sight and hearing?  In this talk\, Nasrine Olson (
 PhD\, Associate Professor) will introduce the idea behind the formation of
  the Centre for Inclusive Studies at University of Borås and will present
  a few projects that have explored ways in which technology can be leverag
 ed to level the playing field.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\nNasrine Olson is
  an Associate Professor in the field of Library and Information Science at
  SSLIS\, University of Borås\, Sweden. Core research interests relate to 
 issues of power and the relationships in day-to-day action\, and broader s
 ocietal structures. In more recent years her focus has been on the societa
 l implication of ICTs and information practices that enable or hinder the 
 potential for equal opportunity for all. She has also been instrumental in
  creating research environments that promote\, and lead to\, improved incl
 usive technologies and environments by coordinating projects such as EU-fu
 nded projects MuseIT (2022-2025) and SUITCEYES (2018-2021). Nasrine is
  also the director of an interdisciplinary research centre called INCLUDE
  – Centre for Inclusive Studies\, where through critical examination th
 e ideology of normal\, the unequal treatments of societal members is explo
 red.
