About

Robin Brewer’s research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction, accessibility, and aging, with a focus on how emerging technologies reshape the lived experiences of older adults. Her most-cited work, “Understanding entangled human-technology-world relations: use of intelligent voice assistants by older adults” (2025, 5 citations), offers a groundbreaking examination of how voice assistants mediate social practices and alter older adults’ relationships with the world. By applying a relational lens, Brewer reveals the nuanced ways these technologies both empower and constrain users, challenging simplistic narratives of digital inclusion. Her contributions extend beyond academia, informing the design of more empathetic, age-inclusive technologies. With a growing body of work that bridges theory and practice, Brewer is a rising voice in accessible computing, advocating for designs that honor the complexity of aging. Her research not only advances scholarly understanding but also provides actionable insights for technologists and policymakers, making her a vital figure in shaping a future where technology truly serves all generations.
