This edited collection brings together interdisciplinary contributions from six continents, spanning diverse fields such as digital media studies, social computing, community informatics, and cultural studies. It examines whether vulnerable populations face similar experiences and challenges regarding their digital inclusion status, highlighting the importance of intersectionality and advocating for the inclusion of age, ethnicity\/immigration status, and disability aspects in one's identity. The collection challenges popular discourse on the overcoming of digital inequalities in the West, arguing that accounts of non-western contexts do not focus on the parameter of vulnerability or specific population groups. It also presents a qualitative interview study on enhancing older adults' digital inclusion through social support, which is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030941215\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103430635770,"sku":"9783030941215","price":93.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662768168554_book.jpg?v=1663273363","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/vulnerable-people-and-digital-inclusion-theoretical-and-applied-perspectives-9783030941215","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
