Mapping Equity of Mobility on Campus
Anna Bard, University of Kentucky

We all experience a range of abilities at different points in our lives. In this talk I’ll cover how we organized a multi-disciplinary interdepartmental team at the University of Kentucky to generate and visualize critical mobility related information, curated for a range of physical abilities. Typically, we think of a physical mobility limitation as a disability. However, during this talk we’ll consider environmental and attitudinal barriers as the inhibitors of inclusion. We will discuss our team’s process from the planning for data collection to embedding the data into the mainstream University of Kentucky web map. The end result was the development of a campus-wide accessible routing service. I’ll describe how tackling this work through the lens of justice and equity elevated the quality of the project while preparing us (and others) to use maps as an advocacy tool.
