Intersectionality & Access: A Trip Report

I am a disabled Associate Professor at the University College London. I was diagnosed with various rheumatological conditions as a PhD student, and lupus as a pre-tenured faculty member. I suffer from co-morbid celiac disease and hemiplegic migraines which result in highly variable vision and mobility. I also am both dyslexic and ADD. Much of my earlier career research looks at gender, though recently, I have started to look at telepresence robots as a tool for students with disabilities. Still, historically most of my interactions with the ASSETS community focused on disability advocacy rather than as a researcher.
