In this episode of The InclusionHub Podcast, host Sam Proulx resets the table, so to speak, returning to several critical yet rarely articulated insights shared by guests of our inaugural drop, and re-evaluating where we are as a society in the collective quest toward true digital accessibility and inclusion, for all.
Among those: that the web is broken—impacted by what Sam describes as “flat-out greed.” All this has created a lucrative cottage industry that’s most recently enriching itself off an ongoing mass scramble by businesses to comply with critical laws passed to help rectify such disparities.
Listeners have heard from this episode’s incredible guests before—in our very first drop “Accessibility by Default.” Expanding their discussion about the history and current state of the web into the ADA, WCAG, and consequently flawed but necessary ways businesses and organizations can help improve digital accessibility and inclusivity, are Jutta Treviranus and Laura Kalbag.
