New Technologies Research Academy

How are different cultures and social groups using or appropriating new technologies in distinct ways? How do new technologies and technological objects impact upon questions of subjectivity and embodiment, and on the idea of the human and the post-human? How are data and computational methods transforming the way we do research in the social sciences and the humanities? To explore these and other questions, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) warmly invites researchers interested in the histories, politics, philosophies, and applications of emerging technologies to participate in the New Technologies Research Academy, which will be held at NUS from 17-19 May 2023. This is an in-person, 3-day event offering talks and masterclass workshops on three themes:

1. Practical application of digital technologies for creating avenues for dignity and identity (such as the usage of blockchain in the humanitarian sector)
2. Computer-assisted technologies for research in the humanities (in areas such as AI-assisted translation and computer vision)
3. Autonomous agents and surveillance (including UAVs)
