What's It to You?: Subjectivity and Audio Description
Audio Description is an essential accommodation for
people who are blind or visually impaired, and is
also used widely in language translation and,
increasingly, in cultural translation with sighted
audiences.
Dr. Georgina Kleege, Professor of
English at UC Berkeley, is an expert on this topic
and has written extensively about blindness, art, and
audio description, including Sight Unseen (1999)
and More Than Meets the Eye: What Blindness
Brings to Art (2018). Her presentation to the MSU
community will address new and cutting edge
approaches to using AD, including creative narration
and interactive descriptions by/with blind people
themselves. Come learn more!
