Roundtable discussions
Through three roundtable discussions we spoke to: (1) any individual who feels their needs and requirements are not typically captured by the design of products, services, and information resources services (2) charities and organisations that advocate for LGBTQ+ and disabled communities (3) organisations that conduct user research.
During the roundtables we hope to identify potential solutions for embedding equality, diversity and inclusion in usability testing.
Participatory event: April and May 2022.
Interviews
We organised 1 hour interviews with folks who identified as LGBTQ+ and/or disabled. We also spoke to organisations who undertake usability testing research, as well as organisations who support LGBTQ+ and disability communities and individuals.
Through the interviews we hope to identify challenges and barriers for embedding equality, diversity and inclusion in usability testing.
Participatory event: March and April 2022.
