Knowledge, value and risk in AI governance

Project Summary

My work can be situated at the intersections of sociology, politics, and law. My PhD, which will be completed as a series of publications, examines the adoption and regulation of data-dependent AI technologies across various social and institutionalĀ settings. I have diverse research interests thatĀ encompass themes including: knowledge production and exchange in AI; regulatory governance; the concept of risk; and mobility, displacement and humanitarian governance. Much of my work develops and applies insights drawn from social theory, with particular attention given to emancipatory and critical realist approaches.
