Digital Inclusion in an Unequal World (Episode 24) – Tom Wambeke on “Beyond the Cable: ‘The embrace of co-designed, plural futures'”

This is the twenty-fourth episode of our podcast based on the vignettes contributed by friends and colleagues to Tim Unwin’s new book Digital Technologies in an Unequal World: An Empancipatory Manfesto. In it, Tom Wambeke argues that we need to “move beyond inclusion as mere access toward inclusion as transformation — a redefinition that gestures toward a truly radical inclusion. This vision demands co-designing for the pluriverse — a world where multiple ways of being and knowing coexist”.

The full vignette can be read here.

All audio files relating to the book are also available on our podcast with a new episode every week.
