Hi All, I got lots of replies, and I'm passing along a digest to the list in case others are interested. Sorry for the poor editing (copy and paste from others' emails -- none of this is mine except #1) and thanks to everyone who wrote me. Some people referred me to people rather than essays so that's why you're getting names. 1. First, I should have mentioned i already knew and liked Gerard Goggin's work, but he was suggests by lots of people. His disability chapter with Christopher Newell in The Cell Phone REader is a standard teaching text for me (a similar version is a chapter in his own Cell Phone Culture), and he's also got a coauthored book with Newell. 2.

George H. Williams has done a lot of research and might be a useful contact. You can see a project of his here: http://braillesc.org/about/ and a related post of his at the Chronicle's ProfHacker: http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/academic-resourcesuniversal-design/264... You can contact him here: http://georgehwilliams.pbworks.com/w/page/14266798/FrontPage or via twitter: @georgeonline 4. Educause might be a central source 5. http://www.w3.org/WAI/ 6.

I don't know if I mentioned why I was asking, but I'm doing a senior-level undergrad seminar in the fall on Disability, Technology and Communication. The syllabus will be posted on my website. I'm taking a very broad view of both technology and communication, so new media are only part of the mix. Best, --J -- http://sterneworks.org http://mcgill.ca/ahcs http://media.mcgill.ca
