We are in the Q&A for #uxa2021 #uxaustralia
Answer from Steven W (about qualifications) Qualification are sometimes/often used to further marginalise people.
Steve B talkign about access to education can go back to early childhood, so qualifications can often reflect who's had the privilege of getting qualified, and not everyone's qualifications are earned in the same experience.

Working within healthcare in UX is like a Anablep — it swims at the surface of the water, as it swims it's 4 eyes look above and below the water.
The work within health you usually see above the surface, in UX you get to see what's happening below the surface.

Why do we need to consider accessibility when designing and creating?
About as motivating as your parents telling you to eat your vegetables.

When Charlii asks "What drives design" she usually gets these answers.
We don't tend to care about people with disabilities when we're designing.

1. Research is a craft.
"Isn't your job just chatting to people?"
There is a misconception when people first learn about research is that they think it is easy, and anyone can do it. This devalues the craft.
You need to bring people along every step of the process.

"Why do you need to do research? Can't you just design based on your experience?"
While there are many frameworks we can use to accelerate our design work but we need to do the work to capture the context of your current design.
