Stefanie Kirlew

With a growing specialism in AI ethics and society, I bring a critically informed perspective to artificial intelligence that bridges technical literacy with humanistic inquiry. My engagement with machine learning is grounded in hands-on experimentation - including comparative LLM analysis and prompt-based research, alongside rigorous theoretical frameworks drawn from feminist epistemology and philosophy of knowledge. As a trained educator with a PGCE and extensive experience in art and design contexts, I design and facilitate learning that prioritises critical thinking, embodied knowledge, and reflective practice. My academic writing spans peer-reviewed publication, postgraduate-level research, and accessible public-facing work; I have been a peer reviewer for the International Journal of Art and Design Education since 2011. Across all four areas, my approach is consistently interdisciplinary, connecting technical systems to their social, ethical, and cultural consequences with both analytical precision and creative depth.
