My research project
AI-mediated Comics: A Critical Phenomenology of AccessThis research is conducted as a Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholar.
To conduct a critical phenomenology of access means challenging the ontological and epistemological foundations governing AI-enabled accessibility. I use comics as a critical site, where the gap between rich visuality and non-visual experience is profound and poorly understood. First-person accounts provide the necessary methodology to critique normative access structures. This research examines AI mediation, seeking to leverage its potential to deploy, not only accessibility, but a just access.
