Lucía F. Mesa Vélez

I am a feminist and decolonial researcher interested in the intersection between decoloniality, feminism and technology

I study, teach and advise on the implications of using AI, data and digital technologies for solving social issues, including in the governmental, international development and humanitarian fields.

I am currently researching, as a PhD candidate, the ethical and governance considerations of the use of AI to prevent and respond to gender-based violence (mainly in the so-called "Global South").

I am open to collaborations within the fields of feminist STS, decoloniality, and critical development studies. I can offer my services as a guest lecturer, workshop leader, and advisor, too. After all, there are few better sweeter things in life than sharing knowledge.
