Abstract

This seminar will present the Inclusive Digital Museum Innovation project and focus on the use of inclusive technology as a means to facilitate the social inclusion of people with visual impairment.听

Led by 香港六合彩 Institute of Archaeology (IoA) in the UK and KAIST Game & Life Lab in South Korea, Inclusive Digital Museum Innovation is one of the ESRC-AHRC Opportunity: UK and South Korea social science, arts and humanities connections awards made as part of collaborative research networks aiming to develop long-term relationships between researchers in the two countries. Created during the second year of the pandemic, the Inclusive Digital Museum Innovation project was developed as an interdisciplinary response to a process of an accelerated shift towards digital technology and the digital divide that was exacerbated, but also exposed by COVID-19. Bringing together a cross-disciplinary team of researchers and professional practitioners, this project addressed the challenges that UK- and South Korean-based museums and libraries face when dealing with digital inclusion/exclusion.
