Isabel García Velázquez

Research project

What does it mean to be labelled as autistic? What does a social robot need to have for being used in autism? How and when does the socially interactive performance of the robot comes into existence? And, how do human-robot interactions-based interventions for ASD inform the development of the socially assistive robotics field? Drawing upon ethnographic methods,  my research finds shelter at the juncture of inter- and transdisciplinary approaches where feminist and decolonial studies constitute the dwellings that inform my writing.
