> Hi, my name is Keita Ohshiro, a graduate student at New York University. As part of my master’s thesis, I am recruiting interview participants for current or former university and college students who are blind and above 18 years old, and teachers who have taught them.
> 
> The purpose of the interview is to learn about accessibility of math graphs in university and college education, specifically graphs used to communicate math concepts in Calculus 1 such as limit, continuity, derivatives, and integrals. My aim is to identify the problems that students/teachers/schools are having and develop ways to improve those problems using audio descriptions and sonification. 
> 
> The interviews will be conducted via zoom and take about an hour maximum. If you are interested, please contact Keita Ohshiro at keita.ohshiro at nyu.edu.
> 
> Thank you and have a great day.
