This interdisciplinary group of researchers work creatively using both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Projects associated with members include the AHRC-funded project Enhancing Audio Description, the ESRC-funded Closing the Gap Network+, and the Wellcome Trust-funded Centre for Future Health.

Our research spans participatory filmmaking with mental health service users, sound design and spatial audio to create alternatives to audio description, user-defined website accessibility, co-design and co-production of interventions with lived-experience experts, refreshable braille screen development, accessible game engines, and the potential benefits of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response-inducing media (ASMRim) in wellbeing.

This diverse and emerging research cluster collaborates extensively across academia and with external organisations including Mind, RNIB, Mental Health Foundation, and Converge.
