Join us for a CHIWORK conversation on December 15, 2022 at 11am EST<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaker: Yunus Do\u011fan Telliel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Assistant Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yunus Do\u011fan Telliel<\/a> is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Rhetoric at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Before joining WPI, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley. He is affiliated with the Interactive Media and Game Development program and the Professional Writing program at WPI. He is currently working on two book projects. The first is based on his previous research on science, religion, and secularism. The second book project draws on his new research on the idea of human-technology collaboration in the ‘future of work\u2019 research. This book, tentatively titled “The Future of the Future of Work\u201d, will be an exploration of ‘the future of work\u2019 as a framework of design and innovation in robotics, platform design, neurotechnology, and computational media. In this project he asks: what happens when we start to see ‘the future of work’ as a matter of tech design? What questions are we not asking? How do technologists imagine ‘the human worker’ of the future when they design for human-technology collaboration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a design anthropologist, Dr. Telliel collaborates with engineers and computer scientists on four different National Science Foundation-funded projects on the future of work (from nursing robots, to nonprofit platforms, to maintenance work). Each of these collaborative projects helps him explore different aspects of workplace technology design. As an extension of these collaborations, he serves as the social sciences lead of WPI’s NSF Research Traineeship Program on ‘Future of Robots in the Workplace\u2019<\/a> and organizes a year-long \u2019social impact of research\u2019 workshop series for graduate student trainees.
In addition, he is a co-director of the ‘Applied Robot Ethics Lab’ and ‘JustT Collab’ (Collaborative for Technology for Transformative Justice) at WPI, as well as a co-chair of the IEEE Brain Neurotics Subcommitte<\/a>e\u2019s ‘Work and Employment’ working group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
