Dr Juliane Jarke works at the intersection of critical data/algorithm studies, participatory design research and STS with a focus on the public sector, education and demographic ageing. Currently, Juliane is a senior researcher at the Institute for Information Management Bremen (ifib) and the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI) at the University of Bremen, Germany. Prior to Bremen, Juliane worked as a research associate at the Centre for the Study of Technology and Organisation (CSTO) at Lancaster University. She studied informatics (BSc), philosophy (MA) and IT management and organisational change (MSc) in Germany and the UK, and holds a PhD in Organisation, Work and Technology from Lancaster University. In order to strengthen the critical perspective on AI-based systems at the University of Bremen, she became a founding member of its Data Science Centre. To strengthen participatory approaches to technology design in Germany, Juliane co-founded the special interest group Participation in the German Informatics Society. Juliane is a member of the international Socio-Gerontechnology Network, that brings together scholars from various social science and design disciplines interested in critical studies of ageing and technology.
