I'm a Research Fellow at Leiden University and a PI on the NWO Veni project “Paw Support” on animal-shaped social robots in elder care. An anthropologist of health and technology working at the intersection of anthropology and Science and Technology Studies, I explore what constitutes a good life with digital technologies. I'm also a Visiting Professor at KU Leuven and the author of Calling Family: Digital technologies and the Making of Transnational Care Collectives. My website: https://www.tanjaahlin.com/
