About

Yiying Wu is a visionary scholar at the intersection of human-computer interaction, feminist technology studies, and the future of labour. Their work critically examines how emerging technologies—including automation, robotics, AI, and mixed reality—can reshape care work, a domain historically undervalued and feminized. Wu’s most cited paper, “Collective Imaginaries for the Futures of Care Work” (2024), offers a groundbreaking framework for envisioning how these technologies might either perpetuate inequities or foster more just, supportive care infrastructures. By centering collective, participatory imaginaries rather than top-down technological determinism, Wu challenges researchers and designers to rethink the very purpose of innovation. Though early in their career, Wu’s work has already garnered attention for its bold synthesis of speculative design, feminist ethics, and sociotechnical critique. Their contributions are vital for anyone seeking to build technologies that genuinely support human flourishing—especially in the invisible, essential work of care. Wu is a rising voice in reimagining not just what technology can do, but what futures we dare to build together.
