*Bucknell University will host its fifth annual digital scholarship
conference (#BUDSC18) from October 5th-7th. The theme of the conference is
“Digital Scholarship: Expanding Access, Activism, and Advocacy.” #BUDSC18
will bring together a community of practitioners–faculty, researchers,
librarians, artists, educational technologists, students, administrators,
and others–committed to promoting access to and through digital
scholarship. We consider “access” in the broadest possible terms:
accessible formats and technologies, access through universal design for
learning, access to a mode of expression, access to stories that might not
otherwise be heard or that might be lost over time, access to understanding
and knowledge once considered beyond reach.We encourage proposals that
explore or critique digital scholarship as it relates to access, broadly
conceived. Topics may include, but should not be limited to, the following:
- Accessibility of digital platforms and technology- Access to resources to
engage in or produce digital scholarship- Digital scholarship and social
change- Sustainability and future access to digital scholarship- Digital
scholarship and multimodal/interdisciplinary access- Access to  digital
scholarship beyond the academy- The public mission of digital scholarship-
Creating opportunities for diverse voices and perspectives - Designing for
access, activism, and advocacySubmissions may take the form of interactive
presentations, project demos, electronic posters, panel discussions,
work-in-progress sessions, workshops, lightning talks, or other creative
formats.We look forward to building on the success of the last four years,
in which we have come together to discuss challenges, share working models,
reflect on projects, and inspire new avenues for actively including
students in public scholarly pursuits. For more information, please view
