Robotic care imaginaries

I have a background in Social Anthropology and obtained my MA at Stockholm University (SU). I am interested in the development and use of social robots in care for older adults, particularly in how robotic care is imagined in this development. I use ethnographic and collaborative methods where I actively take part in the process of programming and testing social robots. I pay attention to how the various elements in these experimental practices shape the care that the robot is imagined to perform.
