Jon Henner Memorial Accessibility in Games Speaker Series

October 17 @ 4:00 pm 6:00 pm

Everyone is welcome to join us for the opening event in our speaker series themed around how accessibility and video gaming go together. This speaker series is held in memoriam of Jon Henner. Henner was a professor in the Interpreting, Deaf Education and Advocacy department at UNCG, and unfortunately passed away from cancer in 2023.

Henner was a gamer and planned to host an event like this on campus with the Network for the Cultural Study of Video-gaming. The first event in this series will give participants a chance to see the Esports Arena, and play games related to accessibility, or games that have great accessibility features. October 24th will be when we host our first speaker – Sky LaRell Anderson from ​the University of St. Thomas.
