I'm thrilled to have a chapter included in the forthcoming book, "Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech," edited by the dream team of Lainey Feingold, Reginé Gilbert, and Chancey Fleet! #DigitalAccessibilityEthics #Ethics

Book cover with the title and subtitle in blue letters at the top reading Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech. Below the title, taking up about 2/3 of the cover is a painting. The painting features arcs of yellow, orange, blue, turquoise, pink, and purple. The lower half of these swaths of bright colors are populated by abstract figures, circles, and building-like shapes. According to the artist, the work uses sheet music as a foundation, creating an abstract typographical interpretation of musical notation through bold design and color. Resting on the top left corner of the images are the words Edited by Lainey Feingold, Reginé Gilbert, Chancey Fleet. On the bottom right corner are the words CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group.
