About

Christine Perakslis is a scholar whose research critically examines the intersection of emerging technologies, society, and security. Her work primarily explores the ethical and practical implications of advanced robotics and military technologies, with a focus on how these tools reshape human experience and power dynamics. Her most cited paper, "Utilization of Robotics in Higher Education" (2006, 4 citations), provides an early analysis of how robotics can transform pedagogical environments, tracing the evolution from simple classroom tools to sophisticated learning companions. In her provocative piece "Militarized Zones: The Thinking Machine, the Occupying Machine, the Intensive Machine [Last Word]" (2016, 1 citation), Perakslis delves into the ramifications of autonomous and semi-autonomous systems in combat, questioning the ethical boundaries of machines that can think, occupy, and intensify conflict. Though her citation counts are modest, her work is notable for its forward-looking, critical perspective on technology’s role in both education and warfare. Perakslis’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the socio-technical implications of robotics, offering a thoughtful counterpoint to purely technical narratives.
