Using Humanoid Robots to Enhance Social Skills

Using Humanoid Robots to Enhance Social Skills in Subjects with Autism and Other Cognitive/Emotional Deficits  Children are fascinated by robots and readily engage in social interactions with them in the form of imitation, game-playing, exercises, and the like. Dr. Lewis will discuss the procedures and results of an 8-month pilot study on the autism spectrum, in which human-robot interaction protocols were designed with a goal of developing essential social skills, such as joint attention and turn-taking. Additionally, he will demonstrate the robot used in the study.

Contemporary Criminological Issues

English

The field of criminology has had a relatively short-lived history in Canada, spanning just over half a century. In this time, criminology inside and outside of Canada has seen exponential growth. This trend has been paired with the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security’.
