My primary teaching is in accessibility, an overview of all past accessibility offerings can be found on my accessibility teaching page.

The Future of Access Technology (Masters) (Winter 2023; Spring 2021). How can computing enable new solutions to accessibility, including both access to the world and access to computers? Similarly, how can a disability studies perspective guide us in developing empowering and relevant solutions to accessibility problems? This course explores both of those questions through a combination of discussions, reading, and building.

(Quals Accessibilyt) CSE 513: Digital Accessibility (Spring 2024; Spring 2025; Autumn 2025).  Introduction to the future of access technologies. Topics include disability justice; accessibility technology; creating accessible applications and websites; accessibility concerns in a wide variety of computational topics such as security, fabrication, and augmented reality; and the importance of technology in addressing accessibility concerns in the world at large.

Current Undergrad Courses

Digital Accessibility (CSE 443) (Autumn 2023; Autumn 2024; ; Winter 2026). Covers designing and implementing computing systems that empower and improve autonomy for all users, including those with disabilities. Presents conceptual approaches to accessibility as both a radical choice and a legal obligation. Covers assessing and removing inaccessibility barriers in documents, applications, websites, and physical-digital interfaces. Applies disability justice and related perspectives in digital and interpersonal contexts. Prerequisite: CSE 340.

Accessibility Capstone (CSE 482A) (Winter 2025; Fall 2026). Accessibility is quickly emerging as a leading consideration for product design and engineering. Disability is part of the human condition – almost everyone will be temporarily or permanently impaired at some point in life. In this class, you will learn through project-based design. Working with design mentors, and clients, we will use human centered methods to explore how computing can enable new solutions to accessibility.
