This timely volume challenges that gap. Through essays, conversations, interviews, and poetry, contributors reimagine what access could look like when rooted in justice, not just compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Fady Shanouda\u2019s own chapter, <em data-start=\"1118\" data-end=\"1183\">&#8220;Caring Online: A Justice-Oriented Approach to Online Pedagogy&#8221;<\/em> (co-authored with Jenna Reid), we\u2019re invited to rethink care and connection in virtual classrooms. Rather than positioning access as a checklist or afterthought, the chapter\u2014and the book as a whole\u2014pushes us to center accessibility as a collective and political commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a time when digital learning is rapidly expanding, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aupress.ca\/books\/120330-troubles-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1561\">Troubles Online<\/em><\/a> is an essential intervention. It expands our collective thinking about disability, design, and education\u2014especially in spaces where the harms of inaccessibility are too easily hidden behind screens.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-quote cu-component-spacing\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 id=\"available-now-in-paperback-pdf-and-epub-order-or-download-your-copy-here\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"1810\">Available now in paperback, PDF, and EPUB !<\/strong><br data-start=\"1810\" data-end=\"1813\">Order or download your copy here:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.15215\/aupress\/9781771994163.01\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"1954\">Troubles Online: Ableism and Access in Higher Education <\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Please join us in congratulating <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fist\/people\/fady-shanouda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dr. Fady Shanouda<\/a> and the entire editorial team on this powerful and much-needed publication.
