Speakers

Daniela Gandorfer is a lecturer at University of Westminster and an affiliate of the Ethics Institute at Northeastern University. Daniela’s research focuses on scientific and technological frontier spaces — such as quantum physics,  blockchain technology, and psychedelics — and their implications for emerging modes of normativity and governance. Special interest lies on the possibilities for an ethics of sensing and sense-making (synaesethics) attentive to these phenomena. 

Professor Mireille Hildebrandt at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The focus of her research is the interaction between data- and code-driven solutions on the one hand and law and the rule of law on the other. This concerns a proper understanding of the methodological integrity of the research design of such solutions, and focus on the relevant legal frameworks (e.g. fundamental rights law, data protection law, cybercrime and private law liability).

Gregor Noll is Professor of International Law, Torsten Söderberg Research Chair at the Gothenburg School of Business, Economics and Law. His main areas of research are international refugee and migration law, human rights law, the theory of international law and international humanitarian law. Currently, he is working on how neurotechnology, robotics and AI impact on international humanitarian law and human rights law and considering how our ontological history impacts our way of operationalizing international law.

About the Series

Digital Technologies are changing the modes in which law and governance operate, opening up toward new perspectives on normativity. How to think the relationship between international law and technology and its implications for normativity? What are the topologies of normativity that these terms connote? What must legal reasoning become to better attend to techno-legal assemblages? These questions are leading to the emergence of a new scholarly field revolving around ‘international law and technology’ with new theoretical and methodological approaches, new assumptions and preoccupations and new modes of working across disciplines. In this lecture series we bring together leading scholars in international law, international relations and legal theory to present their work and discuss the implications of an ever increasing digitization of socio-economic life.
