Panel Discussion: Accessibility and Inclusion in Physical and Virtual Space
Join us for the virtual Peale Grand Opening and Panel Discussion: Accessibility and Inclusion in Physical and Virtual Spaces
For links and information on joining this panel discussion in Second Life and on Social Media, please visit the Peale's website.
Part of our Founder's Day Celebrations and the Redefine/ABLE project and exhibition in the virtual Peale in Second Life, this panel discussion responds to the challenges and opportunities of creating accessibility in both the physical and virtual worlds, particularly in historic structures – be they digital or "real." Panelists include George Ciscle, Curator-in-Residence Emeritus at Maryland Institute College of Art and founder and first director/curator of the Contemporary Museum, also known as The Contemporary; Alice Kreuger, founder of Virtual Ability, Inc.; and Dr. Jeremy Wells, Associate Professor in the Historic Preservation program in the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Wells runs the web site, http://heritagestudies.org, which addresses ways of making historic preservation more human-centered.
This project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities, through support for the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Maryland Historic Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning, and the Maryland Department of Labor. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this exhibition do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Maryland Humanities, Maryland Historic Trust, Maryland Department of Planning, or Maryland Department of Labor.
