Dr Barbara Ribeiro
Presidential Fellow (Academic)
Overview
I joined the University of Manchester in 2016, having previously held a postdoctoral position at the University of Nottingham. I was appointed as Presidential Fellow at the Manchester Institute of Innovation Research, Alliance Manchester Business School in 2019.
My research sits at the intersection of science and technology studies (STS) and innovation studies. Most of my work has focused on the social and ethical aspects of emerging technologies and responsible innovation. I am currently developing research in the areas of automation, digital technologies and artificial intelligence, looking at their impact on the way we work, the ethics of monitoring practices and people’s relations with data-intensive environments.
