Satinder Gill holds a PhD from the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge (Darwin College). She is Managing Editor of AI&Society, Journal of Knowledge, Culture and Communication (Springer).
Her research investigates the pragmatics of rhythm and sense-making in speech, gesture, and music as a critical lens on the changing nature of presence and tacit engagement in face-to-face and technology mediated communication.
Since her PhD on tacit knowledge in communication, her research has been motivated by three related concerns: how do I know that I have been understood and that I have understood?; on ‘certainty’, on why it is that when we engage with the artificial representation of our decision making processes, we lose our capacity to judge with doubt?; and with the rapid pace of change of technology and its uptake, can the arts and sciences together create new methods that bring the ephemeral experience and the representational together to grasp the impacts in society and shape interfaces that afford tacit engagement?
