About
Salla Jarske is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics, human-robot interaction (HRI), and youth civic engagement. Her work fundamentally rethinks how robots can support societal participation, drawing on ethnomethodology to analyze the normative social practices that make robot interactions meaningful. Jarske’s major contributions include designing and facilitating workshops that co-create civic robots with young people, exploring how these technologies can lower barriers to democratic participation and even foster climate hope among adolescents. Her most-cited papers—each garnering 4–6 citations—address topics ranging from persuasive robot design for civic engagement to remote collaboration tools for multidisciplinary robot design teams. Notably, her 2020 study on the “social” of socially interactive robots offers a novel ethnomethodological lens for understanding HRI, while her 2025 work on group-robot interaction examines the micro-dynamics of human sensemaking in multi-party settings. Jarske’s research is distinguished by its focus on youth perspectives and its integration of design workshops, case studies (e.g., at a youth guidance center), and qualitative analysis. Her achievements position her as a leading voice in designing socially responsible robots that empower young people to shape their communities.
