About
Celia Spoden is a researcher at the intersection of educational technology, social robotics, and inclusive education. Her work explores how avatar robots can bridge the gap for children unable to attend school in person due to illness or disability, with a particular focus on cross-cultural implementations in Germany and Japan. Her most cited paper, "Staying connected: implementing avatar robots at schools in Germany and Japan" (2024, 5 citations), provides a foundational analysis of how these technologies facilitate social participation and academic continuity for marginalized students. By examining the cultural and institutional factors shaping adoption, Spoden highlights the potential of avatar robots to foster belonging and reduce isolation. Her research is notable for its practical, comparative approach, offering insights for educators, technologists, and policymakers. With a growing citation record, Spoden is establishing herself as a key voice in inclusive edtech, demonstrating how thoughtful integration of robotics can transform educational access for vulnerable populations.
