Dr. Williams is an Assistant Professor in User Experience Design at Purdue University and PI of the CoLiberation Lab. As a former SSRC Just Tech Fellow (2022-2024), Dr. Williams’s work explores how disabled people imagine and build their own sociotechnical worlds, often in spite of and orthogonal to existing structures of bias, stigma, and exclusion. They also investigate how issues in technology policy and research practice interact to disrupt disabled people’s bodily autonomy and access to meaningful public life. They regularly publish on AI impacts on disabled people. Their book, Disabling Intelligences, is coming out next year from Palgrave MacMillan press.
