Specifically, it examines refugees as a group that has received scant attention as technology users, despite their urgent need for technological access to sustain tenuous links to family and loved ones during displacement. It draws from over 100 interviews and surveys with refugees conducted from 2007 to 2011, utilizing this empirical data to interrogate well-known theories about technology and its users. In doing so, it seeks to rethink the popular model of “digital divide” and offer alternative ways of conceptualizing technology literacy and access. It examines how principles from design and IT industries can be applied to contexts with constrained availability, access, and affordability to provide technology services that accommodate users with limited technical and language literacies.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 220mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 10mmItem Weight: 245gAuthor: Linda LeungGenre: Technology & EngineeringTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Language & ReferenceRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
