Join Dr Eleanor drage and dr Kerry mackereth as they ask the experts: what is good technology? Is it even possible? And how can feminism help us work towards it?

The Concept

We use the concept of the ‘Good Robot’s a provocation for thinking about whether good technology is even possible but also as a route for guests to imagine different ways of doing or making technology. We approach the concept of feminism broadly and encourage guests to explore what they understand feminism and feminist practices to be. Some of our previous guests have included Wendy chun Jason Edward Lewis rosi braiddotti jack halberstam anne anlin cheng and N. Katherine Hayles.
