Dear AIR members, I am User Experience design masters student from India. For a research module on "Digital design, and, society", I am doing research around speech-impaired in the context of digital divide, mostly around urban Bangalore. For the next ten to fifteen days, I plan to do extensive research from desk research to contextual interviews. As my mentor, is from indifferent domain, is guiding very passively and remotely, I am opening up to ask for some active remote guidance. Apart from remote guidance for few days, I am ready to accept every form of suggestions, opinions, comments and research material around speech-impaired and digital divide in computer mediated communication. So far, I have written two mediocre unguided research papers and probably, this would be guided first-authored research paper. Being user experience designer, I have ACM student membership and, my college has JSTOR membership. Cheers, Pavan Garre User Experience Designer National Institute of Design, R & D Campus, Bangalore, KR, India. http://artifactsby.me +919620603379
