Katharina Klappheck

At the Gunda Werner Institute, I have been an advisor for feminist network policy since February 2022. I work on issues related to digital violence, automated discrimination, and digitalization in healthcare. Here, my focus is primarily on artificial intelligence in medicine. I am interested in whether the nursing robot is dreaming and whether the internet offers space for feminist utopias.

I am a political scientist and have been working on the topic of "Trans and Nonbinarity within Artificial Intelligence" as part of my Master's degree at the University of Vienna. I completed my bachelor's degree at the Technical University of Dresden with the topic "Design as Feminist Practice".

In particular, I work on queerness, disability and artificial intelligence, and the question of digital barrier poverty. In activist contexts, I am primarily concerned with the implementation and design of new inclusive technologies. In my work, I focus on conceptualizing policy strategies related to equality as critical practice and digital issues. I have most recently worked in the Bundestag in the area of gender justice.
