About

Dr. Becky Parry is a leading voice in the intersection of inclusive education, disability studies, and emerging technologies. Her work critically examines how digital innovations and the rise of Industry 4.0 can either dismantle or reinforce barriers for disabled learners. In her highly cited 2020 paper, "Rebooting Inclusive Education? New Technologies and Disabled People" (17 citations), Parry offers a speculative, conceptual review that challenges techno-optimism, arguing that true inclusion requires a fundamental rethinking of educational design rather than simply retrofitting new tools. Her research pushes beyond accessibility checklists to interrogate the social and political dimensions of technology in classrooms. Parry’s contributions are vital for educators, policymakers, and technologists seeking to build genuinely equitable learning environments. By weaving together critical disability theory with practical educational concerns, she provides a roadmap for a future where technology serves all students—not just the majority. Her work is essential reading for anyone committed to inclusive pedagogy in an increasingly digital world.
