/ About Event
#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.
With 3600 Undergraduate students Bucknell University is a national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other.
In 2018, the Bucknell University Digital Scholarship Conference is celebrating its fifth year.
Library & Information Technology at Bucknell University is proud to host #BUDSC18. View our digital scholarship portfolio here.
We are committed to providing an environment where all participants feel safe, included, and comfortable at the conference.
#BUDSC History
/ Keynote Speakers

Kelley specializes in nineteenth-century U.S. and Latin American literary studies, Latinx studies, digital humanities, and comparative media studies as an Assistant Professor of English at Pace University. In her research and teaching, she explores the role of media change past and present in enabling and inspiring shifts in the way we tell stories about current affairs. Kelley is also the co-founder and co-director of Babble Lab, a digital humanities center at Pace that seeks to reimagine how we teach the humanities through the use of data, design, and code and through the study of the new media of the present and the past. She is currently completing a book called Electrifying News: A Hemispheric History of the Present in Nineteenth-Century Print Culture.

She has written three books on usability – Storytelling for User Experience: Crafting stories for better design (with Kevin Brooks), Global UX: Design and research in a connected world (with Daniel Szuc), and A Web for Everyone: Designing accessible user experiences (with Sarah Horton).
