Abstract
The speaker will provide a first-person account of her research journey to study digital inclusivity in Wales. Wu et al’s REF2021 impact case study research focuses on the challenges posed for sensory impaired users in Wales by first, the digital switchover of television; and secondly, the broader digitalization of services and information. They have both brought risks of exclusion, ‘digital gaps’ and the erosion of communicative rights. The research has had an effect on the awareness and understanding of these challenges in Wales by elected representatives, broadcasters, Action on Hearing Loss and the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). In this talk, Dr Wu will share experience gained and lessons learnt from her 10-year research journey – how she started this portfolio of research projects; how she built a cross-disciplinary team; how she collaborated with external partners; what are the opportunities and challenges associated with doing an impact case study and her current and future portfolio of research projects.
