A light-skinned person with dark brown glasses is leaning into the camera. Her eyes are partly closed from smiling. She wears a light green dress with an open navy jacket over the top. Behind her are open areas of grass and trees.

Louise Hickman is a research associate at the Minderoo Centre of Technology and Democracy, University of Cambridge. Previously, she was at the London School of Economics and the Ada Lovelace Institute’s JUST-AI Network on Data and AI Ethics. Her research draws on critical disability studies, feminist labor studies, and science and technology studies to examine the historical conditions of access work. She holds a PhD in Communication from the University of California, San Diego, and is currently working on a book manuscript tentatively titled “Crip AI: The Automation of Access.”

Maxwell smiles slightly at the camera while wearing a multi-patterned shirt, hexagonal purple glasses and blue glass earrings. Behind zir is sand, ocean waves and a jagged cliff.

​After receiving a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis nine years ago, Maxwell Joy Moore became a podcaster and political agitator with a fierce desire to change the way disabled people of color are seen in mass media. Zir episodes serve as a vehicle for amplifying, preserving, and delighting in the voices of disabled people of color. Ze is committed to interjecting disability justice in any conversation ze has and loves to cultivate collaborative energy with cultural workers, writers, artists and storytellers within zir community. Maxwell was a 2019 Echoing Ida fellow and the 2019 Stitcher Breakthrough Fellow. Ze was a 2019 Werk It! Presenter and was featured at the Afros and Audio Festival in 2020.

Ze is and will always be a proud Black, Jamaican-American, queer, non-binary, disabled alien-prince from The Bronx.
