Accessibility Adjustments Help

  • Toggle High Contrast

    This button will darken the page's background color to black while making all text white. This high contrast will make it easier to read the website's content.

  • Toggle Page Zoom

    This button will increase the size of all elements on the page.

  • Toggle Focus State

    This button adds a visible focus state to all interactive elements when using the keyboard. This allows the user to know exactly where they are on a site while tabbing through with a keyboard. Note: this will only affect sites that do not currently have visible focus states.

  • Toggle Link Highlights

    This button will add an outline to all links and buttons on a page that a user can interact with.

Accessibility Checker Help

  • Check Images

    This triggers a check of all images on a page for either an 'alt', 'title', or an 'aria-label' attribute. Images that are purely decorative or do not include any information to convey to the user do not need alt text. In these cases, the alt attribute should still be present but should be left empty. Our checker will still flag empty alts as an error just in case.

  • Check Color Contrast

    This triggers a check of all text to ensure that it's color has a high enough contrast against the color of the background it is on. In some cases our checker will flag contrast errors for text that is on top of an image or when either the text or the background element has a position of 'absolute'. In these cases it is up to the site administrator's discretion to determine if the text is legible.

  • Check Links & Buttons

    This triggers a check of all the page's links and buttons. Links and buttons without text or an aria-label describing what the link or button accomplishes will fail. Without text (including hidden screen reader only text) or an aria-label, assistive technology will not be able to determine the purpose of the link/button.

  • Check For Duplicate IDs

    This triggers a search for all IDs on a page. Duplicate IDs will be flagged as an error. Duplicate ID errors are known to cause problems for assistive technologies when they are trying to interact with content. SVGs tend to be a major source of this failure. It's beneficial to remove all IDs from SVGs before placing them on a page.

The 2024 ICJS Faculty Seminar

Interreligious Perspectives on Death and Dying

July 15-18, 2024
Baltimore, Maryland

Death and Dying are universal human experiences. Yet, the religious meanings, responses, and rituals concerning the reality of death are diverse. As the religious landscape here in the United States and around the globe is changing, the interreligious study of death and dying requires academic and pastoral attention. To equip those who care for and serve the dying and bereaved, interreligious knowledge, competency, and skills are needed.

The 2024 ICJS Faculty Seminar will bring into conversation scholars, chaplains, and spiritual caretakers for an interreligious study and reflection on the broad area of Death and Dying. Participants will present and facilitate sessions on topics that are related to religious traditions other than their own. They will examine how specific themes engage with their theologies, context, and work. Together we will reflect on how the interreligious lens can expand our specific area.
