Dear Digital Humanists,

Apologies for cross-posting!

Loyola University Chicago’s Digital Humanities masters students invite you to participate in a one-day conference to be held February 23rd, 2018 at our Lakeshore Campus. Digital Accessibility: Assessing, Amending, and Advancing Digital Content for All will take place from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and the day’s events will include three panels, a luncheon, and a digital accessibility edit-a-thon. Please consider answering our CALL FOR PANELISTS by filling out this brief google form: http://bit.ly/CFP_digiA11y. The deadline for submitting is January 15, 2018 and panelists will be notified of acceptance by January 22, 2018. We are looking for individuals or project teams concerned with accessibility who have interests, experience, and/or skills in creating and remediating digital content. This conference is meant as an opportunity for digital accessibility novices and experts to meet and discuss key concepts, concerns, and capabilities for individuals, project teams, and large organizations creating accessibility-aware digital content. We are open to having some panelists present via video-conferencing if unable to attend the conference in person.

Please share this email and the attached flyers to all who may be interested! This conference is sponsored by the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities (https://luc.edu/ctsdh/) at Loyola University Chicago. Questions and concerns should be directed to conference organizers Rebecca Parker (rparker3@luc.edu) and Tyler Monaghan (tmonaghan@luc.edu). Event updates will be made available on the CTSDH Facebook event page (http://bit.ly/FB_digiA11y) and the conference announcement page hosted on the CTSDH website (http://bit.ly/CTSDH_digiA11y)! Please be sure to tweet @LUCTSDH with the conference hashtag #LUCdigiA11y.
