[Blindmath] CSUN Talk by Well-known Math Accessibility Researcher

[Susan Jolly]

Even though I won't be attending CSUN, I just looked through the schedule. 
There are lots of interesting talks.  I ran across one you might not notice 
and have copied the info below my signature.  This talk is by Prof. Arthur 
Karshmer, who has for well over 10 years carried out a great of research on 
the accessibility of math.  His research includes the MAVIS (Mathematics 
Accessible to Visually Impaired Students) project.  He'd be a good person to 
ask about the problems of moving academic research to practical use.
