This webpage reflects content, humanities-based research, and themes related to “Technology and Disability.” This is a page with resources that come from an NSF-funded CAREER project — “Disability, Experience, and Technological Imagination” (#1750260), July 2018 to August 2023, PI: Ashley Shew — as well as from continued work on the topic. There are resources for students developed by students who worked on this project, as well as blog posts about a variety of tech-and-dis themed things.
We have a forthcoming open education textbook on Technology and Disability edited by Hanna Herdegen and Ashley Shew (coming later in 2025). As part of this, you’ll find readings and units on themes in technology and disability research, as well as a set of classroom activities with readings to foster dialogue about specific technologies.
If you are seeking information about the Andrew W. Mellon-funded project called “Just Dis Tech,” which runs 2023-2026 and provides support for disability-forward research consulting, regional events and performances, and disability community-centered gaming, check out the Disability Community Technology Center (DisCoTec)!
