From Pax Romana to Pax Silica

Dr Syed Mustafa Ali, Lecturer and Convenor of the Critical Information Studies (CrIS) research group in the School of Computing and Communications at The Open University.

Dr Syed Mustafa Ali's transdisciplinary research focuses on developing a hermeneutic framework grounded in Heideggerian phenomenology, critical race theory and postcolonial/decolonial thought, and using this framework to explore how race, religion, politics, and ethics are entangled with various technological (more specifically, computing and IT) phenomena. In this connection, he has published work in the areas of Decolonial Computing and Algorithmic Racism, interrogating Trans-/Posthumanism, the discourse of Big Data, internet governance, and AI, the latter of which is increasingly explored through the entanglement of political economy, political ecology, and political theology.
