Several members of the ACCESSTECH team participated in the 10th conference of the Gender Studies Association Austria (ÖGGF) which took place in Graz, 18-20 September 2024. The transdisciplinary conference focussed on the theme of “Humans – Machines – Environments” and addressed critical questions around the roles of gender in technology, the interaction between humans and machines, and biases in artificial intelligence.

On Friday, Janis Lena Meißner and Ekat Osipova shared reflections on “The Risk of Materialized Cultural Reproduction in and through Online 3D-Model Databases” and presented work they have conducted together with Kay Kender and Naemi Luckner.
