Re: Join the 1st ACM Europe Summer School on Accessible and Inclusive Technologies Nancy Hansen ​Kirstein Rummery <kirstein.rummery@stir.ac.uk>;​ DISABILITY-RESEARCH@JISCMAIL.AC.UK​ Hello, That is most unfortunate given the nature, content and subject matter of this conference. It could provide access to many more people who are often excluded because of numerous barriers. There is a certain level of irony here.
