No Excuses: Reading for All, Including People with Disabilities. Foreword to Paul Harpur’s Discrimination, Copyright and Equality: Law Opening the eBook for the Print Disabled.

This article is the foreword to Dr Paul Harpur's 'Discrimination, Copyright and Equality: Law Opening the eBook for the Print Disabled' (Cambridge University Press, 2017). Given that copyright is one of the most widely debated, researched, and legislated public concerns in digital culture –– as evidenced in the commons debates, the furious arguments about illegal downloading, or the affirmative policy in favour of open access publishing –– that the issues of copyright and the print disabled are not widely known. Why are these issues not routinely raised, in the mainstream, when we talk about the opportunities and discontents of digital technology for society and culture? The continuing oppression of print disabled readers, and their exclusion from the world of books, can no longer continue –– and it is something that should be an integral part of our university courses, research, public debates, and public policy discussion on digital technology. A very important addition to this indispensable Cambridge University Press series, this is a book that must be widely read. Harpur’s study deserves an engaged reception across a range of disciplines, not just law and policy studies –– but also disability studies, sociology, media and communication studies, literary studies, and elsewhere in the humanities, social sciences, as well as engineering and technology sciences. Equipped with Dr Harpur’s fine book, we are equipped with the resources to take these issues mainstream, and secure proper action, so that everyone in the world, by 2030, or sooner, can indeed be a reader

Smart Tourism Intermingling with Indian Spiritual Destinations: Role of e-WoM Sentiments in marketing

The purpose of this study is to see how smart tourism and sentiments help tourists seeking spiritual experiences that are deep-rooted in ancient Indian traditions as opposed to materialistic getaways. Exploratory research through sentiments of YouTube and Tweets followers are collected in sample. A qualitative-quantitative research method is used in this paper to analyse the sentiments on Indian popular spiritual destinations. Smart tourism allows larger, coordinated efforts for Innovation, quality of life and sustainable tourism through rich data infrastructure within the ambit of specific destinations. Within a context, personalisation and real-time monitoring can occur where sentiments are positive or highly positive for that matter. Fundamental to tourists’ experiences is an aesthetic obsession with authenticity. The diversity of smart technologies applicable to experiences in the smart spiritual tourism sphere is still to be defined on a more granular level where religion still holds the glue. This paper seeks to explore the smart tourism experience concept applied to spirituality (STES) in more depth to facilitate further contributions. A smart tourism experience can be co-created for better delivery and a conducive environment for such an experience to emerge. Each spiritual destination is unique and complex. Policy responses can address the impact mainly through knowledge (human) resources

Tapped Out: Threats to the Human Right to Water in the Urban United States

In the United States today, the goal of universal water service is slipping out of reach. Water costs are rising across the country, forcing many individuals to forgo running water or sanitation, or to sacrifice other essential human rights. The fixed costs of water systems have increased in recent years, driven in part by underinvestment in infrastructure. In many cities, this has been exacerbated by population shifts and the economic downturn. In this era of increasing costs and limited financial resources, water providers struggle to balance the competing priorities of modernization and universal access. This report, researched and written by students of Georgetown Law’s Human Rights Institute in the winter of 2013, details the causes, effects, and solutions to the affordability crisis affecting water in the urban United States
