Dr. Madeleine Steeds is an assistant professor in Information and Communication studies. Their research is centred around technology augmented cognition and conversation. They are an academic collaborator in ADAPT. Madeleine’s research interests lie at the intersection of human-computer interaction and cognitive and social psychology. They are particularly interested in how stereotypes held about devices and people may influence interaction, and in these cases, how the potential harm may be mitigated. They are also particularly interested in the effects of technology on human memory, and how interacting with technology may help or harm these processes.
