About
Helena Whalen-Bridge is a legal scholar whose work sits at the intersection of narrative theory, criminal law, and emerging technology. Her research explores how stories shape legal outcomes, particularly in cases involving automated systems and criminal liability. In her highly interdisciplinary work, she examines how narratives of ability and fear influence the construction of human-robot relationships within legal frameworks, as seen in her 2021 paper on criminal liability for driving aids in automobiles. While her citation count is still growing, her contributions are notable for bridging law, technology studies, and narrative analysis—a rare and increasingly vital combination. Whalen-Bridge’s scholarship pushes legal scholars to reconsider how storytelling, even in technical contexts like autonomous vehicle regulation, shapes accountability and justice. Her work is especially relevant as courts and legislatures grapple with assigning responsibility in human-machine interactions. For students and researchers interested in law and technology, narrative jurisprudence, or criminal responsibility, Whalen-Bridge offers a fresh, critical lens on how legal systems adapt to innovation.
