On Friday, April 6, The Digital Scholarship Commons will host a Symposium on Disability and Technology. The symposium is intended to connect the digital humanities with disability studies. While access is often discussed in the digital humanities, few scholars really look at the cultural and social impact of new technologies on disabled persons and communities.

It's that time of the year again: the Day of the Life of the Digital Humanities or Day of DH. As has been the case since 2009, hundreds of digital humanities practitioners will take to the blogs and Twitter (follow #dayofDH) to talk about what they do throughout a single day's work. The goals of the project are various, but among them are highlighting the wide array of activities that fall under the banner of DH. It also doesn't hurt to sometimes remind people who wonder if college professors work hard enough exactly what we do with our time.
