\n<\/span><\/h4>\n

As a professor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Ottawa, my research and teaching focuses on multimodal learning, sustainability, learning differences, literacy, and interdisciplinarity. As an educator, I strive to make the school curriculum accessible to all students by employing multiple means of learning. I am also a visual artist, who makes use of upcycling to create mixed media works from both natural and manufactured materials.<\/p>\n

Emily Harmsen, MA Cultural Studies<\/h3>\n

Supervisor: Dr. Claire Davies
\nDepartment: Faculty of Arts and Sciences<\/h4>\n

My intended area of study for my masters includes researching universal,\u00a0inclusive,\u00a0accessible and sustainable design methods. I am interested in\u00a0developing a design framework that merges aspects of accessible and sustainable design theories; as well as in examining the successes and failures of modifications made to existing designs\u00a0and the stigmas that can exist in relation to the use of inclusively designed material items within mass markets. The READi program appeals to me because of its hands on and multi-disciplinary collaborations surrounding accessible design and innovation.<\/p>\n
