AccessComputing Webinar: Improving Information Access for Scientific Documents
Scientific knowledge is only meaningful if people can access, understand, and make use of it. Although open access has removed paywalls for many scientific papers, many barriers remain. Papers may be inaccessible to people using assistive technologies, difficult for non-specialists to understand, or hard to translate into practical applications. Emerging AI technologies create new opportunities to study these challenges at scale and develop tools that improve access, but these transformations also introduce risks around information fidelity and the communication of uncertainty.
In this talk, I discuss our work on improving access to scientific and health information. Large-scale analysis of scientific PDFs reveals how access varies across publishers and publication models, including how the growth of open access has counterintuitively impacted document access. I also discuss how machine-learning-based solutions can help identify accessibility failures and support the conversion of PDFs into more accessible…

Courage to Be Human at Work webinar: Vulnerability, Access, Connection
We’re often told to “bring our whole selves to work.” But what does that mean when being fully seen can carry real risks—and when support isn’t always accessible, understood, or safe to ask for?
In this 90-minute webinar, we’ll explore courage and vulnerability in the workplace through disability, mental health, accessibility, and human connection. We’ll examine the choices people make around masking, disclosure, accommodations, and asking for support—and consider what individuals, managers, and organizations can do to make those choices safer and more empowering.
Register to attend on Zoom
Led by Linea Johnson, a workplace mental health leader with lived experience, this session combines professional expertise and personal perspective to examine the realities of navigating mental health and disability at work. Rather than treating vulnerability as something employees need to get better at, we’ll consider how workplace culture, power, accessibility, and trust shape openness and belonging.
Event interval: Single day event. Accessibility Contact: info@di-washington.org. Event Types: Diversity Equity Inclusion. Lectures/Seminars. Target Audience: Those seeking understanding of vulnerability & inclusion, contributing to an accessible workplace.

Webinar: The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Accessibility
We invite you to join an upcoming webinar, The Past, Present, and Future of Digital Accessibility, hosted by AiiCE on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, from 11:30 am-12:30 pm Pacific/2:30-3:30 pm Eastern.
Digital accessibility has come a long way—but how did we get here, where do things stand today, and what comes next? This session will trace the evolution of digital accessibility through three questions: How did we get here? (the past); Where are we now? (the present); and Where do we go from here? (the future). Along the way, we’ll explore the technologies, standards, laws, and changing expectations that have shaped the field—and consider the emerging trends and opportunities that could define its next chapter.
