Call for participation; CHI workshop on design for reading

(apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message)

I would like to ask you to consider participating in the "Design to read"
workshop at CHI 2010.

We are want to bring together practitioners and researchers who work with
audiences who do not read easily, and also people who themselves have
encountered difficulties with reading.

We aim to find out more about each others' work, and also to tackle the
question of whether one approach to design can work for all of our audiences
- or do we need to design differently for different groups? And if so, how?

The workshop is on Saturday, 10th April in Atlanta, Georgia. 

If you would like to join us, please review the call for participation at: 
http://www.designtoread.com/CHI2010

and then send your position paper to Caroline Jarrett
caroline.jarrett <at> effortmark.co.uk

CHI's deadline for position papers is January 6th 2010, but we will be happy
to receive an expression of interest by 11 January and the actual position
paper by 18th January.

If you have any questions about the workshop, please feel welcome to contact
me off list.
