For the past twenty years, Miriam Ticoll has been involved
with information and new technologies both professionally and in her capacity
as a city dweller in the late twentieth century. As an information
professional, over the past several years she has been working to develop
informal and formal information networks in the area of disability and human
rights, and to strengthen the capacity for community-based information. She is
particularly interested in the potential for new technologies to facilitate
community building and learning opportunities both for women and for people
with disabilities. Miriam currently is Manager of Information Services at The
Roeher Institute, Canada's national institute for the study of public policy
affecting persons with an intellectual impairment and other disabilities. She
is also a part-time doctoral student at the Ontario Institute for Studies in
Education. Neither a computer nerd nor a techno-luddite, Miriam admits publicly
to having a love/hate relationship with her computer. |
