About me
My thesis work focuses on responsible AI in higher education and applies critical perspectives to examine assumptions and expectations around different principles and methods that are presumed to ensure responsible development and integration of AI in universities. My work also explores which methods may be appropriate to use to identify, raise awareness and reason about beliefs about the future and their effects on our current actions, for example in policy work.
I have an academic background in decision-risk and policy analysis and the history of ideas and have extensive experience working with co-creation and co-exploration processes, including in education and healthcare.
