Working at the Intersection of Race, Disability and Accessibility
Open accessAbstract
Examinations of intersectionality and identity dimensions in accessibility research have primarily considered disability separately from a person’s race and ethnicity. Accessibility work often does not include considerations of race as a construct, or treats race as a shallow demographic variable, if race is mentioned at all. The lack of attention to race as a construct in accessibility research presents an oversight in our field, often systematically eliminating whole areas of need and vital perspectives from the work we do. Further, there has been little focus on the intersection of race and disability within accessibility research, and the relevance of their interplay. When research in race or disability does not mention the other, this work overlooks the potential to better understand the full nuance of marginalized and “otherized” groups. To address this gap, we present a series of case studies exploring the potential for research that lies at the intersection of race and disability. We provide examples of how to integrate racial equity perspectives into accessibility research, through positive examples found in these case studies and reflect on teaching at the intersection of race, disability, and technology. This paper highlights the value of considering how constructs of race and disability work alongside each other within accessibility research studies, designs of socio-technical systems, and education. Our analysis provides recommendations towards establishing this research direction.

The diversity of identities and life situations can give rise to different orientations and competing needs within disability groups.
“For instance, the diversity of identities and life situations can give rise to different orientations and competing needs within disability groups [34, 63].”
From Access in the Shadow of Ableism: An Autoethnography of a Blind Student's Higher Education Experience in China (2026) · cites this paper as [34]
Section 6 (Discussion; page unavailable) says that people in a community may not share the same identity and that racial groups can view disability differently. Section 2.1 (page unavailable) likewise describes disability experiences as varying across time, culture, and environments. These passages support differing perspectives, but do not establish that the differences give rise to competing needs within disability groups. (LLM, conf=0.82)

“(Bailey and Mobley, [5]) In her 1991 Stanford Law Review article, Kimberlé Crenshaw speaks of the importance of intersectionality as a analytic lens saying “although racism and sexism readily intersect in the lives of real people, they seldom do in feminist and anti-racist practices” [35].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
