On that note, if anyone has any suggestions or leads for small pots of money that we can apply to to make this event as accessible as possible, please do get in touch - either on here or via our email address! Any help would be much appreciated! #DisHist
You can also find an easy read version of the Call for Presenters below: #DisHist #CFP
We’ll work with you to ensure attending and presenting at the event is accessible. We hope to provide both British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation along with Speech-to-Text captioning (STTR) - we currently have funding for one, and are seeking funding to be able to provide both. #DisHist
We welcome diverse presentation formats from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. Academic papers, conversation or interview styles, artistic presentations – your imagination is the only limit! Preferred presentation lengths are either 5 minutes or 15 minutes. #DisHist
If you just want to attend the event, and not present, more information and how to book a place will be available once the CFP has closed. So please save the date!
We welcome contributions on topics or projects including (but not limited to):
- Disability histories in the British Library collections
- Library collections and disability history
- Accessibility and collections
- Cataloguing and finding disability histories
- Disability publications
