We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Ashwin Varghese as CGHR's next Postdoctoral Scholar! Ashwin impressed us greatly with his work on AI and policing in India.
CGHR Co-Directors Dr Sharath Srinivasan and Dr Ella McPherson, along with Postdoctoral Scholar Dr Sebastián Lehuedé, are looking for a small team of research volunteers.
Dr Sebastián Lehuedé shared about how research and activism have increasingly denounced the problematic environmental record of the infrastructure and value chain underpinning Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The panel spoke about the digital mediation of assemblies, how the right impinges on how assemblies are policed, and theorising the central role of assembly in politics.
The Centre's Co-Directors Dr Ella McPherson and Dr Sharath Srinivasan welcomed old friends and new students to the 2023-24 academic year at CGHR.
Sebastián will be joining the Department of Digital Humanities, King’s College London, as a Lecturer in Ethics, AI and Society.
We are recruiting a brilliant and inclusive new team of volunteers to help produce accessible, critical content about human rights for our global and diverse listenership.
CGHR is fortunate to have an engaged student community from across the university. This is headed by our vibrant Student Group.
Dr Sharath Srinivasan, for his expertise on the impact of new technologies, has been appointed as a judge to review the Generative AI Skills Challenge applications.
His article calls for a radical reset in peacemaking, stating that past failures encouraged this war. The popular revolution and civil resistance needs to be put front and centre.
An opportunity for us at CGHR to thank and catch up with our friends and collaborators, especially students who continue to be part of our long-term projects.
Some of the questions explored: How can research make global-scale claims in a way that is attentive to local agencies? How can researchers themselves reproduce extractive dynamics?
