Short presentation

In my PhD project To Enhance or Not to Enhance: Gender, Hybrid Identities, and Exoskeletons in the Armed Forces, I aim to research how gender is manifested in and through the wearable robots called exoskeletons. A core focus is gender and the technological relationship between the user and the robot constructed for the military.

I also participate in the research group Technologization of the Everyday and serve as the Centre's PhD representative at the University's Doctoral Board.
