Open Collection in NanoEthics – Submissions Now Open

I am delighted to announce that I am co-editing an Open Collection in the journal NanoEthics on the topic “Disability, Technology and Change.” Together with Robert Stock (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) and Magdalena Zdrodowska (Jagiellonian University, Kraków), we invite submissions that explore the complex and multifaceted relationships between disability, innovation, and technology.

This collection aims to bring forward disability-centered narratives on innovation, repair, hacking, and readjustment. We are especially interested in contributions that challenge medicalizing, normative, or ableist perspectives, and instead highlight disability as a creative force, an embodied experience, and a form of expertise that shapes technological, cultural, and political change.

The collection welcomes interdisciplinary work and encourages reflections on topics such as:

• The global and local dynamics of assistive and inaccessible technologies
• Socio-technical practices of care and repair
• Maker cultures, activist formations, and collaborative design
• Decolonial and situated knowledge perspectives
• Imagining more just and crip futures through STS, disability studies, ethnography, design, and artistic research

Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis.

We look forward to receiving diverse contributions that engage with the intersections of disability, technology, and change – and to creating a space for critical, creative, and global conversations on these urgent topics.
