I am an Associate Professor at Mälardalen University (MDU), Department of Organization and Management, in Sweden. I have been an elected member of the EASST Council since 2021-2024.
The European STS community is steadily growing and requiring the EASST Council both continuity and change. As the current Secretary of EASST and Chair of the EASST Ethics Committee, a second mandate would allow me to put my past experience at the service of the Council and the larger STS community and move forward with the present and new Council members.
As a scholar, my research focuses on welfare technology; in particular, she is interested in studying the digitalization of caring from an STS perspective. Michela is founding member of the Socio-Gerontechnology Network that brings together international researchers with a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, including STS.
