Training in Co-Creation as a Methodological Approach to Improve AI Fairness
Participatory design (PD) and co-creation (Co-C) approaches to building Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have become increasingly popular exercises for ensuring greater social inclusion and fairness in technological transformation by accounting for the experiences of vulnerable or disadvantaged social groups; however, such design work is challenging in practice, partly because of the inaccessible domain of technical expertise inherent to AI d…
The Politicization of Research Ethics and Integrity and its Implications for Research Governance
The limits of control: Technological agency, urban terrain, strategy and the state in the 2014 Gaza War
A strange sky: Security atmospheres and the technological management of geopolitical conflict in the case of Israel's Iron Dome
This paper uses Israel's technologically advanced Iron Dome short-range missile defence system as a deep empirical case study to examine how affective atmospheres mediate the relationship between state power and the agency of technological objects deployed to govern (in)security. Drawing theoretically from productive tensions between more-than-human theories of object-oriented ontology, actor-network theory and affect theory, it evaluates Iron Do…
A Cartography of the Unknowable: Technology, Territory and Subterranean Agencies in Israel's Management of the Gaza Tunnels
This article evaluates the potential for agency exercised by the subterranean volume in geopolitical conflict. Joining recent geographical conceptualisations of territory as a volumetric assemblage with calls for an elemental geopolitics, it argues that the density of the underground layer creates a convoluted techno-political problem that obfuscates the state’s means of directly observing, visualising and knowing the topological space of territo…
Alterity, Security and Everyday Geopolitics at Israel's Border with Lebanon
This article reassesses themes in the present literature on borders in political geography by using the case study of Israel's border with Lebanon. This securitized landscape invites a definition of the border predicated on a neat dichotomy between one's own identity and a foreign and dangerous “Other.” However even this border is a complex and contradictory boundary, in which residents’ attitudes, beliefs and practices are ambivalent and defy ne…
