Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

When bioethicist and professor Ashley Shew became a self-described hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohns disease and tinnitus, there was no returning to normal. Suddenly well-meaning people called her an inspiration while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people dont want what the abled assume they wantnor are they generally asked. Almost everyone will experience disability at some point in their lives, yet the abled persistently frame disability as an individuals problem rather than a social one. In a warm, feisty voice and vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate technoableismthe harmful belief that technology is a solution for disability; that the disabled simply await being fixed by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence and the crucial relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabledwhether through changing climate, new diseases or even through space travel. Its time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
