About

Christine Hauskeller is a leading scholar in the sociology of science and technology, with a particular focus on the intersections of race, gender, and power in technoscientific systems. Her research critically examines how emerging technologies—from artificial intelligence to biotechnology—are shaped by and reinforce social hierarchies, while also exploring liberatory imaginations and resistance. Hauskeller’s most-cited work, the co-edited volume *Captivating Technology: Race, Carceral Technoscience, and Liberatory Imagination in Everyday Life* (2020, 258 citations), is a landmark contribution that interrogates how technologies like predictive policing and surveillance embed racial injustice, yet also open spaces for creative, anti-racist futures. This work, alongside her broader scholarship, has been instrumental in advancing critical race and feminist technoscience studies. Hauskeller’s impact is evident in the widespread citation of her research across sociology, science and technology studies, and African American studies. She is also known for her collaborative, interdisciplinary approach, engaging with scholars like Ruha Benjamin to challenge carceral logics in tech. Her work remains essential for students and researchers seeking to understand technology not as neutral, but as a site of both oppression and transformative possibility.
