Show Notes
Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss a collection of essays that centers around Dr. Ashley Shew’s concept of technoableism, a type of ableist belief that technology can, and should, “cure” disabled people. Maria Pendolino narrates and keeps listeners’ attention during technical descriptions while also capturing the emotional heart of Shew’s essays. Shew uses her experience as a chronically ill, hard-of-hearing cancer survivor and amputee to illustrate how technology helps assist her in her everyday life. Listeners will find Pendolino’s clear and direct narration style perfect for better understanding new ideas and concepts about technology and disability studies.
