In 2023, I created a survey exploring
current feeling towards cyborgs and
robots. The project spanned the
length of my master’s degree
career, culminating in this page
2023 Cyborg
Sentiment
Analysis
The
Completion . . .
I learned how to design a survey in the summer of
2023. I tested the survey, received feedback and
made changes. I also had my first round of analysis.
My skills were not on par for the questions I asked,
but I continued my pursuit of curiosity
The survey is
closed for 2023
This is where the project became something bigger.
In the fall of 2023, I decided to look at the short
comings of my past exploration and learn how to
analyze text as data. This was a huge component of
my research, but at the time of my first analysis, I had
not idea how to interpret text data.
In December of 2023, months of work was shared in
a research poster titled “2023 Cyborg Sentiment Analysis:
The Current Social Standing of Cyborgs and Robots in Society”

At the December 2023 poster session, a classmate
asked an interesting question:
“Do you think there is an overlap with gender?”
It turns out, there is . . . and a massive amount of
material to read on it. My exploration of sentiments,
the technological other, and policy has many
overlaps with feminist and queer studies, as well as
eugenics and racism. My masters level curiosity was
really a PhD’s worth of reading,
