Hello! I am Beatrice.

I am an Lecturer/Assistant Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Research Centre at Birmingham City University in the UK.

I am interested in inclusivity and designing technology with people with disabilities. I draw from critical disability and feminist theories to re-think the role of technology in shaping social relationships, interactions, access and inclusion. I take a first person, research through design, and participatory design approaches (e.g., co-design workshops, soma design workshops,  interviews, (auto)ethnographic observations) combined with prototyping. I work closely with underrepresented communities and disabled people with mixed-abilties to learn from their lives experiences and practices.

If you are a researcher or industry and would like to start a collaboration or if you are a student interested on a Master's project, please get in touch!
