We are pleased to announce the seminar Rethinking Technology and the Acceptance of Social Robots: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Identity and Education, organized as part of the Permanent Seminar Educational and Sociocultural Changes and Potentials Connected to the Digital Transition.
The seminar offers an interdisciplinary reflection on the processes through which digital technologies, artificial intelligence systems, and social robots are accepted and integrated into everyday life, with particular attention to the educational and sociocultural implications of the digital transition. Bringing together perspectives from human-robot interaction, social psychology, philosophy of science, educational research, and media and communication studies, the event explores how technology acceptance is shaped by psychological mechanisms, cultural orientations, and representations of social identities.
The seminar will feature talks by Irene van Driel (Amsterdam School of Communication Research - ASCoR, University of Amsterdam) and Álex Barco Martelo (Universidad de Deusto), together with Edoardo Datteri, Leonardo Lapomarda, Davide Cino and members of the CAPTED-Next Digital Identities research group.
An event organized as part of the Permanent Seminar "Educational and Socio-Cultural Changes and Opportunities in the Digital Transition" by the CAPTED Research Center in collaboration with the PhD Programme in Education in Contemporary Society (ESC) and the RobotiCSS Lab (Laboratory of Robotics for the Cognitive and Social Sciences) of the same University.
Contacts: Edoardo Datteri (Full Professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science, University of Milano-Bicocca) and Leonardo Lapomarda (PhD Candidate in Education in Contemporary Society, University of Milano-Bicocca).
