Clark Miller, Claire Gordon. “Disabled by Design.” How a lack of imagination in technology keeps the world inaccessible to huge numbers of people.N.p., n.d. Web.

Clark Miller, the associate director of the Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes at Arizona State University teamed up with Claire Gordon, a researcher of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education to write “Disabled by Design”, an article that is primarily focused on the concept of “technology’s patterns force people to design their own bodies to fit in—or those patterns exclude people from participation when they don’t fit.” Miller uses Regan Brashears’s film Fixed to show that in society today ” the most common response is to call for technology to fix disabled bodies– Rather than designing the world so that a diverse population can function and thrive within it.”

One of the supporting arguments given is the research conducted by the Claire Gordon on the U.S. Black Hawk helicopter. In this study Gordon informs her audience on the architectural exclusion of the U.S. Black Hawk. Gordon states “while the engineers used conventional standards to construct the design of workstations and equipment in the cockpit, it only fits 90% of the users. Within these percentages there is even a smaller amount of female minorities able to use this equipment,  “– in the general Army population, more than one-third of female soldiers and almost three-quarters of Hispanic female soldiers physically did not have the right size or shape body to fly a Black Hawk. ”

 

“Disabled by Design” was written to influence the thought of the citizens and to hopefully become “The citizens guide to the future.” This would be useful for any researcher looking for a credible source with scholarly accredited studies to support the theory of discrimination within architecture towards certain groups, specifically the disabled.

  18. In “Disabled by Design,” Clark Miller and Claire Gordon argue that many technologies are built around narrow assumptions about the human body, forcing people to adapt themselves to technology rather than designing technology to accommodate human diversity. Drawing on Regan Brashears’s film Fixed, Miller highlights how society’s dominant response to disability is to “fix” disabled bodies instead of reimagining environments and tools so that everyone can participate and thrive. A key example supporting this argument is Claire Gordon’s research on the U.S. Black Hawk helicopter, which reveals how architectural and design standards can be inherently exclusionary..

  21. It’s frustrating how often the physical world feels like it was built with a “standard” user in mind, leaving everyone else to just figure it out. I’ve been reading a lot about the “social model” of disability lately, which basically argues that people are disabled by the way society is designed—like choosing to build stairs instead of ramps—rather than by their own bodies. It makes you realize how much work still needs to be done in urban planning and digital spaces alike. I actually found a discussion about this while looking through https://www.trustpilot.com/review/plinkoplay.top the other day, as people were debating how inclusive certain gaming interfaces really are for those with limited mobility. It’s a massive conversation that definitely deserves more mainstream attention.
