This symposium, convened by Victor Zhuang, Fung Global Fellow 2022-23, brings together scholars and practitioners to consider the future of technology and disability. What does it mean to build disability inclusive futures with technology? What does research say about technology and how disability is embedded in it? What are the kinds of possibilities that may emerge when disability intersects with technology? And what are the implications for policy and practice?
