Abstract

In order to help navigate the more in-depth context and interconnections of the book’s wider insights on disability and technology, it is important to provide a good working knowledge of the theories of disability and the theories of technology. Given the interdisciplinary ambitions of this book, no assumptions are made as to readers’ familiarity with disability studies and technology studies. Indeed, a section of the potential readership may be rooted in medicine, paramedical studies, occupational therapy and psycho-therapeutic domains and be schooled in very distinct literatures. This requires an overview of the key debates, therefore, one which assumes little prior knowledge. In that sense, the following does not aim to be a definitive version of disability models and theories, nor indeed of social theories of technology. These are available elsewhere and with more depth and acuity (Albrecht et al. 2001; Barnes et al. 1999; Ellul and Merton 1964; Goodley 2010; Heidegger 1977; Thomas 2007; Verbeek 2011; Wajcman 2010; Watson et al. 2012). However, the key debates and implications for understanding the intersections of disability and technology are required. There are, however, some new insights here even for readers rather more familiar with these debates, given the lens through which we will view technology, which will be much wider than simply microchip technology (Lane 2006) and will be in an interdisciplinary context (Repko 2008).
