Crip Technoscience
Also known as: Critical Disability Technoscience
A framework articulated by Aimi Hamraie and Kelly Fritsch that examines how disabled people engage with, repurpose, and create technologies from their own embodied knowledge and political standpoints. The Crip Technoscience Manifesto advocates for technology research and design that is anti-assimilatory (not trying to make disabled people "normal"), anti-normative (challenging standard assumptions about bodies and ability), and opposed to techno-solutionism (rejecting the idea that technology alone can fix social and political problems). It emphasizes disability-led innovation and community expertise.
