Prof. Helen Manchester

Helen is Professor of Sociodigital Futures at the University of Bristol. Helen is an interdisciplinary scholar with a background in cultural studies, feminist science and technology studies, co-design and material culture. Helen’s participatory and design based research foregrounds experiences of ageing, gender, culture and the arts, connectivity and digital inclusion. She is particularly interested in feminist and post human approaches to researching digital inclusion, in particular ageing and digital technologies, just futures, and participatory methods. She has had international peer reviewed journals published on subjects such as ‘care-full co-design’, drawing on posthuman feminist research and design practice and ‘intersectional participatory methods’ drawing on theories of intersectionality when working alongside minoritized communities.
