codes are better at censuring bad behaviour than inspiring good
Ethical technologists know better. They know accessibility is really about who we deem worthy of our efforts; a commitment to treat every person as a person. We shouldn’t mistake an ethical code for ethics itself. The conversation and the outcomes are what matters, not the paperwork. Ethics must become a custom, a way of thinking, a set of values held by all in the industry: as Cameron Tonkinwise calls it, ethics as ethos.
Diversity and inclusion professionals often describe two dimensions to diversity: inherent diversity and acquired diversity. Inherent diversity refers to a group’s innate traits, such as sex, orientation, and ethnic background, while acquired diversity refers to perspectives people have earned through experience.
The quest for diversity suggests we should also embrace interdisciplinarity.
