About

Anna Jackman is a geographer whose research critically examines the intersections of technology, security, and everyday life, with a particular focus on drones and automation. Her work is distinguished by its attention to the social and political implications of emerging technologies, moving beyond technical assessments to explore how these systems shape and are shaped by human practices. Jackman’s most cited paper, “Domestic drone futures” (2022, 29 citations), offers a prescient analysis of the anticipated integration of drones into civilian spaces, probing the cultural and regulatory landscapes that will define their adoption. More recently, her co-authored study “Exploring inclusion in UK agricultural robotics development: who, how, and why?” (2024, 10 citations) critically interrogates the design and deployment of agricultural robots, revealing how current development pathways risk marginalizing key stakeholders and reinforcing existing inequalities. This work highlights her commitment to fostering more just and participatory technological futures. Through her incisive scholarship, Jackman has established herself as a leading voice in critical drone studies and the geographies of technology, prompting essential conversations about power, inclusion, and the future of automation.
