As ‘access’ becomes the hot new corporate buzzword, disabled people are increasingly targeted—not for meaningful inclusion, but for data and labour extraction.

I’m a writer, editor, and researcher imagining truly accessible futures at the intersection of Disability Justice, digital design, and information politics; informed by my queer and disabled embodiment. My PhD research at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information investigates how ideas of ‘access’ are co-opted to monetize disabled users as data, while simultaneously removing jobs and thwarting meaningful inclusion.

Movement, collaboration, and creative resistance inform my practice—from aerial hoop and running, to fibre arts, editing, and collective making. I participate in artist, activist, and research collectives, such as SORCE, the Media Action Research Group, the Centre for Family Equity, Cabaret Commons, and the Digital Research Ethics Collaboratory.

Moving away from prizing speed and isolation, I root in refusal, staying close to what matters most: care, slow co-creation, and the long work of collectively imagining otherwise.
