The Accessibility Meetup - Triangle Style
invites you to celebrate its first birthday
via a virtual discussion with Lainey Feingold about the recently published book, Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech.Lainey is an editor and wrote two chapters in this groundbreaking collection.
Though we hope people have the chance to begin reading this book prior to the discussion, please, please, please feel very welcome to join us even if you haven't read it.
- If it's not burdensome to you at this time, please support Lainey and the books' other 39 authors and editors by purchasing it (you can find it at the following link and at other book sellers like Amazon; see https://www.routledge.com/Digital-Accessibility-Ethics-Disability-Inclusion-in-All-Things-Tech/Feingold-Gilbert-Fleet/p/book/9781041018681).
- The book is also available in Bookshare, a library for people with print disabilities.
- Also please contact your local libraries and see if they can order this book so others in our community can have the opportunity to read it easily.
- If accessing the book seems burdensome, please reach out to Esther, Andi, or Mel. We can't promise specific results, but will do what we can to help connect you to the book.
Note: this meeting is a hybrid in-person and online event.
We also hope to have birthday treats for those who attend in person.
