Inspired by a 2020 collective awakening to societal inequalities, we introduce a conceptual framework to address systemic issues around employment for one of society’s vulnerable populations—people with autism. We do so as advocates, researchers, practitioners, a family member for one author, and an autistic individual for one author. We first draw upon ecological systems theory to develop a portrait of the complex ecosystem of employment for autistic individuals that reveals multilevel and interconnected influencing elements. We then apply learning from systems and resilience thinking to deepen understanding about how positive change can occur in such an ecosystem. Overall, we propose new paradigms, questions, and actions toward transformative change for this and other systemic challenges faced by vulnerable populations.

“…A magnitude of research and study with regards to the effect of technology on human beings have been produced at the end of the previous millennium and the beginning of the new millennium (cf inter alia Schuurman [1995]; Hearn [1997]; Katsikides [1998]; Lotter [2003]; Coteanu [2004]; Jutte [2005]; Klang & Murray [2005]; Scharff & Dusek [2014]). In these studies different positions towards technology are taken.…”

In this paper it is investigated if the influential book published in 1990 by the French philosopher Jacques Ellul about The Technological Bluff was valid in its predictions about the development of technology. The main thesis of the book was that technology always begets more technology and he warned against the "absolutization of the scientific design". It will be shown how influential this book is today while Ellul's legacy is still kept alive. A critical discussion of Ellul's book will be given and the development of current technology, followed by some pointers in dealing with current technology, conclusion and a summary.

Double Helix Relationships in Use and Design of Informing Systems: Lessons to Learn from Phenomenology and Hermeneutics

The theme of this monograph of Informing Science is a dialectic we perceive to exist between meaningful use and reflection upon use. This dialectic between use and reflection on use (or thinking, and thinking about thinking) may be considered in the following way. Each of these elements is subject to change. As reflection triggers change in use, and such change triggers further reflection, a spiral comes about. Lived human experience, and reflection upon that experience, seems to shape a double helix. The monograph contains contributions exploring particular ways in which studies of use could benefit from a relationship to philosophical frameworks such as hermeneutics and phenomenology.
