SHARP 2022 book history conference

[vivdunstan]

Looking at SHARP Amsterdam, this year’s SHARP book history conference. It’s a sort of hybrid this year (Covid measures permitting), with online sessions only on 2 out of 5 days, and just keynotes and SHARP AGM online on other days, rest in person. I’d like to attend online, but with just 2 days focused on online I can’t be sure with my unpredictable neurological illness that I’d be well enough to make even the reduced online registration fee worth it. I need to decide soon, before May 5 price rises. It does feel like a step back re accessibility. Also as a P.S. looking at the programme most of the talks I would like to see are on the not online 3/5 of the programme. So again even the reduced online registration fee is highly questionable for me re value. I’m a disabled housebound academic.
