About
Phoebe Sengers is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, science and technology studies, and sustainable agriculture. Her work fundamentally challenges conventional approaches to technology design, advocating for critical, reflective, and socially aware computing. Sengers is best known for pioneering "critical technical practice," a framework that integrates cultural analysis into the very fabric of system building. She has made landmark contributions to sustainable HCI, demonstrating how computing can support more resilient and equitable food systems. Her most-cited work, "Transdisciplinary Collaborations for Advancing Sustainable and Resilient Agricultural Systems" (2025, 14 citations), exemplifies her commitment to bridging computational methods with agronomic and social science expertise to address the urgent challenge of feeding a growing population without degrading the environment. Through her leadership at Cornell University, Sengers has shaped a generation of scholars who see technology not as a neutral tool, but as a site for political and ethical intervention. Her impact is measured not only in citations but in a transformed discourse around what computing can and should be.
