In 2010, Gitte Beckmann, Mareile Flitsch, Herbert Muyinda and David Kyaddondo from Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, initiated the Disability and Technology research project, a long-term interdisciplinary cooperation between the Ethnographic Museum of the University of Zurich and the Child Health and Development Centre at Makerere University in Kampala. I count myself lucky that I had the chance to produce this book within the framework of the research project. Our research project had an applied component, which allowed me to stay in Uganda for two years – not only for research and scientific exchange, but also as part of several teaching and knowledge transfer events. The book is the result of a PhD study I pursued with funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) within the Disability and Technology research project, as well as through a one-year scholarship at the University of Copenhagen’s Anthropology Department. The thesis was supervised by Mareile Flitsch at the University of Zurich and Susan Reynolds Whyte of the University of Copenhagen, and was awarded the 2019 Research Prize for excellence in policy relevant research on developing countries by the German Association’s Research Group on Development Economics, and the 2020 Mercator Awards from the University of Zurich in the ‘humanities and social sciences’ category.
