Join Dean Elizabeth Hudson and the School of Journalism on Oct. 18 to hear from a journalist on the front lines of this reckoning: Pulitzer Prize-winning CBS correspondent Wesley Lowery.
In a widely-circulated New York Times op-ed, Lowery argued that most media organizations do not reflect the diversity of the country, negatively impacting their ability to holistically cover Black and Brown communities and elevate the voices of journalists of color. He joins a growing contingent of Black journalists publicly demanding an overdue paradigm shift in a profession still overwhelmingly led by white reporters and executives.
Nurturing Achievement for Individuals, Design Teams, and Wider Society
The College of Arts, Media and Design warmly welcomed Alex Truesdell to Northeastern as part of the Dean’s Distinguished Lecture Series.
Alex Truesdell is the Executive Director and Founder of Adaptive Design Association (ADA) and a 2015 winner of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship. ADA is an organization that envisions and builds low-tech, affordable tools and furniture that enable children with disabilities to participate actively in their homes, schools, and communities. The organization aims to bring makers and users together to build custom adaptations – from enlarging the handle on a hairbrush for someone with minimal grip, to modifying a cafeteria bench for wheelchairs, to customizing switches so someone with limited speech and mobility can enter Morse code into their smartphone and carry on live conversations. Through these adaptive design approaches, Truesdell challenges the assumption that “disability” means fixed limitations and instead suggests that limitations can be minimized, or even eliminated, with effective user-inspired adaptations.
