In this month’s episode of the AccessWorld podcast, Aaron and Tony talk with Dr. Joshua Miele, who shares his life’s journey and work making the world more accessible for people with disabilities. A MacArthur Fellow and design scholar, Dr. Miele has played a key role in designing some of the leading breakthroughs in digital inclusion over the past three decades.

Last month, Dr. Miele published his memoir, Connecting Dots: A Blind Life. And in this episode, we learn how Dr. Miele’s passion for science and exploration took him from the tree lined streets of his boyhood home in Brooklyn, to the leading technology labs of Berkley, California. It’s a story that goes well beyond the world of accessible design, unleashing that problem solver that sits restlessly inside all of us.
