Bio

My research interests broadly concern social justice and technology. Within this space, I am especially interested in the justificaton of knowledge. Looking at e.g. (data)science, but also law & policy making, and judicial sentencing as knowledge practices helps to understand how law does and does not (yet) address questions that the use of 'AI' for example bring to the fore. This fin turn helps to understand when a tech-oriented response is useful, or when a progressive update of existing law is necessary and possibly sufficient. My dissertation analyzed legal rights to explanation this way. It revealed how the paradigms of Adminstrative and Health Law need need such an update, and how tech-oriented explanation rules will be useless without this.

I came to academia with backgrounds in cabinet making, film making, and legal aid and (surprise!) tend to take an interdisciplinary approach to my reasearch.
