Juliane Jarke

Juliane Jarke is Professor of Digital Societies at the University of Graz. She is an internationally trained, interdisciplinary scholar with a background in computer science, philosophy and science and technology studies (STS). Juliane’s research attends to the transformative power of digital technologies such as AI-based systems in the public sector, education and for ageing populations. Theoretically and conceptually, her research is situated in the areas of critical data studies, new materialism and feminist STS. Methodologically, Juliane follows a design-oriented and participatory approach. This means that she collaborates on the design of socio-digital innovations with a variety of stakeholders (e.g. public authorities, citizen groups, social care service providers, NGOs), often over an extended period of time. In her research she adapts empirical social research, digital and ethnographic methods, combining them with methods of human-machine interaction (HCI) and speculative design research. More information: https://www.sociodigitalfutures.info/
