Anthropologist focusing on sensory impairment research seeking advice and ideas for collaboration

Hello! My name is Katerina, and I am currently working on my master's thesis at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland (UK). In my thesis, I am looking into ways we can create social science research more inclusive and representative of different sensory experiences. I just stumbled into this exciting community, and was so delighted to see all these exciting games and projects! I am trying to collect advice from different fields in order to create a short guideline on how to make research, fieldwork and ethnography more aware of the diversity of sensory modes, and I was wondering, do any of you folks have any advice/input/time for a chat etc? Thank you!

Hi! The jam is over. From what I understand, the best place to reach to connect with the community of blind gamers (and blind gamedevs) is on the Audio Games forum: https://forum.audiogames.net/

I also have a Discord server with a channel for the jam; while archived, it contains a lot of useful information in the chats (and pinned tweets). If you’re interested, the server link is: https://discord.gg/frKXYtG
