Human(e) Centred Content Design: Alastair Somerville

Join us for our next pep-talk, where Alastair Somerville explores how centring our shared humanity in accessible design helps create content that genuinely respects and reflects the lives people live and aspire to.

AI and corporate rules of composition drag us away from writing and storytelling as humans for humans; from being human and humane. This talk is founded in accessible design but describes a few ways in which centring on our individual humanity is critical to content design that respects many people and the lives that they live and hope to live.
