The organizing committee ❤️
Grateful for an amazing #CSCW2025 and especially @vitak.bsky.social and @fpinatti.bsky.social, and my co chair @myrlewko.bsky.social. My highlights were serving as a mentor for the doctoral consortium organized by @eagapie.bsky.social and Nervo Verdezoto. And also the lasting impact award session 💙
🪩 Poster Session time at #CSCW2025!
Come explore fresh ideas, early-stage projects, and inspiring conversations with researchers from around the world 🌍✨
The paper can be accessed through the poster QR code or through this link (doi.org/10.1145/3715...). Reach out to me in person during tonight’s Reception or through email (2565278@dundee.ac.uk).

This work began by identifying the disabled communities underrepresented in subtitle research, followed by a co-design approach with underserved groups (People with Aphasia) that explores their challenges in using subtitles and evaluates their experience of using the prototypes developed.

Details of my presentation.
Heading to Bergen 🇧🇻 this weekend for #CSCW2025 and working on accessibility/disability?
Look no further.
I will be at the #DoctoralConsortium on the 19th of October, presenting my PhD research titled “Adapting Subtitles: Towards Accessible Subtitled Media for People with Aphasia”.

Update. Dundee couldn't have provided a more wonderful, warm, creative and inclusive welcome.
What a blinding and magical community adventure it has been. #BASconf25.
They were ready.

And that’s a wrap on #BASconf25 in Dundee - the City of Discovery!
We’ve loved connecting, learning, and celebrating with the amazing aphasia community 🌟
Huge thanks to Dr Abi Roper for leading such a fantastic event.
Safe journeys home — see you in Cardiff next year! 🗓️

Day 2 summary:
🗣️ Brilliant talks
⛴️ A tour of the RSS Discovery where we discovered we’d last about 6 mins on an Antarctic voyage & would immediately ask for Wi-Fi
💃🏼Ceilidh afterwards, proving that SLTs are surprisingly good at high-speed twirling when someone shouts “Strip the Willow”

Title of the talk
On the first day afternoon at #BASconf25, the aphasia-friendly session begins with an inspirational talk led by @quiteneate.bsky.social and Ciara Shiggins on designing accessible and inclusive audiovisual media for people with aphasia.

Touchdown in Yokohama for my first @chi.acm.org conference! Looking forward to tomorrow’s workshop and talks over the next few days.
Come chat with me if you research people with disabilities/accessibility needs, or adaptations for subtitles/captions/multimedia.
#CHI2025
I am beyond excited to share this research and connect with peers working under the domains of accessibility and multimedia interaction in Yokohama🇯🇵!

💡Takeaway 2: The future perspectives on accessible subtitled media will be explored through human-centred design. Our solution will be developed iteratively to gather feedback from people with aphasia at every stage.

💡Takeaway 1: The current realities of subtitled media have been adapted via animation, virtual reality, eye tracking, wearable vibrotactile interaction, and so on, targeting mainly the blind and deaf population.

This paper investigates potential adaptation solutions for the aphasic community to create a more inclusive and engaging viewing environment.

People use subtitles to better understand contents when watching TV, videos and movies, but the current one-size-fits-all approach to subtitle display marginalises people with accessibility needs.

My recent work with Michael Crabb, titled “Subtitled Media Adaptations for People with Aphasia: Ongoing Accessibility Barriers and Emerging Design Practices”, will be presented at the @chi.acm.org Conference workshop on 26th April.
