 About Eco

 In choosing the name for this website we gave it a direction and philosophy. Eco has research and information about blindness and the arts, in order to introduce this topic as a field of study.

It is a webpage for people who work with or study this issue, or who have an intellectual interest in unconventional arts, access or disability – although it does not ally itself with the disability rights movement. It is an electronic resource to introduce you to the ideas behind this topic. It is also the beginnings of an on-line library on this subject.

As an electronic resource, Eco is accessible to people with disabilities. It has academic researches, simple explanations and news. It is practical and intellectual.

Organisations, Education and Information

Eco links to significant resources in this field, including Toronto University’s online degree notes for its psychology course PSYC54 Cognition and Representation, which introduces the psychology of non-visual perception

This material represents some of the best contributions and networks in Europe and North America. However, we also need links to other organisations which enhance what we have and improve this resource. The email address of the editor for these links is given at the top of this page. Thank you in advance for your help, and I hope this site proves useful to you.

Simon Hayhoe, Editor of Eco

Contributors Wanted

Eco has been given permission by writers and academics such as John Hull, John Kennedy, Oliver Sacks, Thomas Nagel and Charles Spence to link to relevant papers and their websites. We have also been given permission to link to news events from Lisa Yayla’s Accessible Images web list.

We invite you to email copies of articles or resources not in copyright (AS PDFs or MP3s ONLY, please), or preferably links of materials - particularly those in copyright — to the editor at the email address below. We are also looking for reviewers for submitted articles and audio-describers. The reviewers should preferably be experienced in the field of psychology, education or the arts. Again, if you would like to volunteer to review articles, please email the address below.
