معرفی
Vera Gallistl is an Assistant Professor and Research Associate (PostDoc) at the Competence Center for Gerontology and Health Research, Karl Landsteiner Private University for Health Sciences. Her work is interdisciplinary, bridging sociology, health sciences, and digital technology, with a strong focus on aging research. She is actively involved in multiple research projects including Digi4AGE, BUILD, AgeingAlgos, Waste/Land/Futures, and 3WINPA.
Her research interests center on the intersection of aging and digitalization, particularly the role of artificial intelligence in care, digital education for older adults, and the socio-political implications of technology in later life. She critically examines societal perceptions of aging, advocating for a rethinking of age-related stereotypes and greater recognition of older adults as societal resources. Her work emphasizes lifelong learning, intergenerational relations, and the reduction of social inequalities in aging.
The recent publications show a strong trend in exploring the co-constitution of aging and AI, the materiality of aging, cultural gerontology, and digital participation. Her research agenda is interdisciplinary, theoretically grounded, and socially engaged, aiming to open the 'black box' of AI in gerontological contexts.
