Codi Renee Blackmon presented “Critical Race Trauma-Informed Usability: Designing Ethical and Relational Recovery Literacies in Digital Health and Wellness” at the 15th Annual Symposium on Communicating Complex Information (SCCI) held April 13-14 in Hempstead, New York. Blackmon’s presentation introduced the Critical Race Trauma-Informed Ethic (CRTIE) as a design and usability framework for digital health and recovery spaces, arguing that usable information must account for care, embodiment, and systemic inequity. The talk connected technical communication, user experience, and health communication to reframe usability as an ethical and relational practice in complex digital environments.
