		<title>Researcher Seeks Input on Adapting Mobile Devices for Blind and Low-Vision Users</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Chandrika Jayant is a computer science PhD student at the University of Washington: "My research is on mobile device and camera interaction for blind and low-vision people.

		<title>Listen to the Voices of Disability Discrimination</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of the media coverage I heard on the ADA 20th anniversary represented the civil rights law as a landmark in American public life. There were dissenting views, of course. Someone hiding behind the name “fortressdayton” wasted little time in adding this comment to my op-ed piece on the Dayton Daily News Matter of Opinion blog. Disability discrimination is often hard to put your finger on, so I give “fortressdayton” credit for being unfiltered, if mean-spirited.]]></description>

		<title>‘I don’t see problems… I see problem-solvers’</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Twenty years is significant, not because it’s a round number, but rather, because it represents a generation of experience gained since the law was passed. Many of us who lobbied for the ADA believed at the time that it could take a generation or more, as it had with the Civil Rights Act before it, to fulfill the ADA’s promise of equal opportunity for Americans with disabilities.]]></description>

		<title>Finding a Public Sphere in the Blogosphere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve mused for some time about the ways in which the public sphere has been transformed by blogging. I didn’t make an etymological connection between public sphere and blogosphere, though, until I listened to Rebooting the News #56. Jay Rosen spoke several times in that podcast about how the “sphere” of media is changing, and I got the connection, finally. Duh. “Sphere” is the root of both phrases, linguistically, and I would argue that public sphere is conceptually central to the vast hyperlinked network called the blogosphere.]]></description>

		<title>What Is The Public sphere?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been musing about 40 years of experience with two careers that necessarily intertwine and overlap. The first is my career as a media professional. The second is my career as a person with a disability. You could think of one as the day job and the other as my second gig, but the experiences cannot be separated into such neatly distinct categories. If anything unifies my work in both areas, it is the concept of public sphere. Here is how Wikipedia currently defines it.]]></description>
