Episode notes

Ideally, yes, I think we should definitely do it because we've kind of proven that without that kind of governing sort of entity or body or whatever you want to call it, we're not good at policing ourselves. On the other hand, I do recognize that adding another bear to entry to this industry for some people who already have a hard time getting into it could be a problem. There's really maybe no right or wrong answer yet to that, and maybe there won't be. But it's interesting to see that conversation kind of happening a little more, especially just in light of some of the ethical things or unethical things that are happening as well.

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!
