Episode notes

The link between disability, design and engineering tells a complex story. Host Guru Madhavan welcomes two people who have thought deeply on the subject:


Dr. Ashley Shew, is associate professor of Science, Technology & Society at Virginia Tech, and specialises in disability studies and the ethics of technology.

Dr. Rory A Cooper is founder and senior researcher at the University of Pittsburgh Human Engineering Research Labs, and a world-renowned expert in wheeled mobility.
