Inside this book are reflections on the nature of vision and blindness. Further, there are explorations of interpretive research, andpresentations of some seminal and contemporary publications in the field of blindness. The other major fodder for conversation with you thereader is an elaborated example of empirical research entitled Blind Online Learners. Each element of this inquiry is explicitly reflected uponas an example of interpretive research.This book is intended for four intersecting groups of readers. If you are a philosopher, closet or sanctioned, then youcannot ponder the nature of being without due consideration for vision, and cannot contemplate the role of seeing in our liveswithout listening to the stories of those who are blind. The tales within this text are particularly contemporaneous because theyare contextualized by the cyber-phenomena of online learning. This segues to the second group of readers, as the describedempirical research was originally intended to bring greater depth and breadth of understanding to the field of educational technology,particularly as it intersects with disability studies. There is a paucity of published literature that has inquired into disabledonline learners, and this research study responds to that call. Third, this book may be used as a textbook on approachesto interpretive empirical research. It is as close as one may come to a recipe, walking students through a specific example.Because it is situated in actual empirical research, the intention was that it avoid the trap of being prescriptive or formulaic.Finally, the text is intended for readers interested in the field of blindness. The text reviews some of the seminal and contemporaryresearch on blindness, and then presents an elaborated example of what we can and should expect to emerge in the knowledgeproduction industry, changing what it means to be blind.
