Seminar: Social Robotics--Katie Winkle

The topic of this seminar includes 1) introducing some ideas on feminist Human-Robot Interaction—that is what it means to *do* feminist HRI and some principles to guide what feminist HRI might “look like”—and explain a little how this work* came to be; 2) how feminist HRI manifests in other HRI work (in an effort to make good on our claims that feminist HRI is not *only* relevant for politically charged technology development and challenging power structures via design). 3) share some exciting frontiers, such as speculative design and sociotechnical imaginaries.
