Topics for Bachelor's and Master's Theses
Keywords
Accessibility, Disability Studies, human-computer interaction, literature review
Background
Against the backdrop of its social and legal relevance, and within the context of various projects, the topic of accessibility (inclusivity) is addressed. The goal is to present the various perspectives and discourses on the subject.
Task
IT presents both opportunities and risks for accessibility. HCI, and socio-informatics in particular, therefore focus on developing practical solutions. These include solutions that, in whole or in part, influence the participation of people with disabilities and/or were designed in collaboration with them. Conduct a literature review on “Disability Studies in the Field of HCI.”
The systematic literature review should provide an overview of current and relevant publications, describing and comparing them. The discourses in the field of “Accessibility and HCI” should be highlighted, discussed, and research gaps identified.
Requirements
- Structured, analytical work
- Knowledge of how to conduct a systematic literature review
- German and English
- Ability to work independently, commitment, and enjoyment of teamwork
Participants
Students majoring in HCI, Business Information Systems, or related fields.

The scope is determined based on the degree program and format (Project A/B/C).

Keywords
Accessibility, Disability Studies, workplace studies, literature review
Background
Against the backdrop of its social and legal relevance, and within the context of various projects, the topic of accessibility (inclusivity) is addressed. The goal is to present the various perspectives and discourses on the subject.
Task
People with disabilities still do not participate on an equal footing in the workforce, even though many new technologies make it possible to design workplaces to be more accessible and thus employ people with disabilities or limitations. The reasons cited are not always purely technological; rather, in this sensitive context, organizational, societal, and personal aspects must also be addressed. Conduct a literature review on “Disability and Workplace Studies.”
The systematic literature review should provide an overview of current and relevant publications, describing and comparing them. The discourses in the field of “accessibility and the employment of people with disabilities” should be highlighted, discussed, and research gaps identified.
