About
Dongjin Song is a visionary researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, futures studies, and the societal implications of emerging technologies. Their work critically examines how automation, artificial intelligence, and mixed reality are reshaping the landscape of care work—a domain encompassing physical, emotional, and developmental support that remains undervalued within capitalist systems. Song’s major contribution lies in introducing the concept of “collective imaginaries” to envision alternative futures for care, challenging techno-deterministic narratives. Their most-cited paper, “Collective Imaginaries for the Futures of Care Work” (2024), has already garnered 3 citations, signaling growing influence in this nascent field. By bridging speculative design with labor studies, Song empowers stakeholders—from caregivers to policymakers—to co-create equitable futures where technology augments rather than displaces human care. This work is notable for its participatory methodology and its urgent relevance as AI and robotics increasingly permeate intimate spheres of life. Song’s research offers a critical, human-centered lens for students and scholars navigating the ethical complexities of technological progress in care.
