Inclusive Philosophy

This course recognizes that access needs are not problems to be fixed but important expressions of how people engage with the world. Inspired by principles of crip technoscience, care ethics, and design justice, we aim to create a learning space where all participants can engage meaningfully — not despite their needs, but in recognition of them.

We welcome feedback from learners with disabilities, neurodivergent learners, chronically ill learners, and those navigating barriers to traditional education. Your insights help shape a more just and inclusive digital humanities.
