About

Ingunn Moser is a leading scholar in Science and Technology Studies (STS) and feminist technoscience, whose work fundamentally reshapes how we understand the relationship between care, technology, and disability. Her most-cited paper, "Cold technologies versus warm care?" (2009, 218 citations), challenges the simplistic binary that frames technology as inherently cold and impersonal, arguing instead that care practices are always already entangled with material and technical arrangements. Moser’s major contributions lie in rethinking disability not as a fixed individual deficit but as an effect of sociomaterial relations, a perspective she develops through ethnographic studies of assistive technologies and rehabilitation. Her work has been pivotal in demonstrating how technologies can be "warm" and relational, co-constituting care rather than replacing it. With a career spanning decades, Moser has profoundly influenced disability studies, healthcare innovation, and feminist theory, earning her a reputation as a critical voice in posthumanist and care ethics debates. Her research continues to inspire students and researchers to question taken-for-granted dichotomies and to attend to the messy, embodied realities of technoscientific practice.
