Episode notes

I would be in favor because that's one of the ways that we can actually help make sure that secondary school and post secondary school curricula have some of these topics woven into them. I think it is long past time that we recognize in some sort of way that what we are doing is has got non-trivial impact on a global scale. And as an industry, we do need to recognize that. It may not be that you need, it may be for when you're working on certain products, you need this or something like that. You know, with the great power comes great responsibility.

I had the great honor of being invited back to An Event Apart Denver (2019) to record a live podcast episode with Mina Markham, Farai Madzima, & Derek Featherstone on the important topics of Accessibility, Design Inclusion & Ethics, Hiring & Retaining Diverse Talent and Landing a Job in UX. Amazingly, we were able to cover all of this in just under an hour!
