We are very happy to announce that we are partnering with the New Europe College (NEC) in creating a multi-disciplinary research group called NEC-TeCH (Technology, Culture, Humanities).
The group is open to a large variety of perspectives from different disciplines (engineering, data science, anthropology, sociology, philosophy) with the aim to foster dialogue, reflection, and research on the fast-evolving technologies of our times, including social media, smart devices, and artificial intelligence. We evaluate aspects, perspectives, and impact(s) of such technologies in our lives, in our communities, and more generally in our world-views.
Currently, the group functions as a reading group with weekly or bimonthly meetings, in which the members of the group and guests discuss relevant texts (books, articles, and research papers).
The group also welcomes presentations of original research papers and work in progress from its members or from guests.
