In “Who’s in Charge? Information Technology and Disability Justice in the United States,” a new review on the #JustTech platform, @AmeliaNGibson and @FractalEcho examine discussions related to data and technology access for people with disabilities. just-tech.ssrc.org/field-reviews/…
@AmeliaNGibson and @FractalEcho complicate the idea that disabled people truly have “access” to technology in contexts where they do not control technology, such as healthcare, “smart” homes and communities, and the workplace. just-tech.ssrc.org/field-reviews/…
Gibson and Williams make several recommendations “to consider the disabled person as a primary user, capable and deserving of full access” such as considering independence of disabled people, strategic divestment, giving power to patients & making the internet a public utility.
This field review is one of many newly published pieces on the #JustTech platform, which also features essays, interviews, events, and more at the intersection of technology and social justice. Stay tuned for more highlights! just-tech.ssrc.org
