Congratulations to the GSEJ team, Dr Joy Zhang,<\/a> Dr. Simon Bailey<\/a>, Prof. Lubomira Radoilska<\/a>, Dr. Jennifer Leigh<\/a>\u00a0and Dr. Aparajita Mukhopadhyay<\/a>\u00a0for winning Kent\u2019s Future Human<\/a> Signature Research Theme’s seedcorn fund.<\/p>\n

The project \u2018Augmented Agency\u221dAugment Fairness?\u2019 explores how technological interventions and imaginaries affect individual life possibilities (inclusion\/exclusion) and collective conceptions of fairness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On 26-27 April 2023, the team will organise an in-person 2-day forum which consists of 20 expert participants working in different areas of core technology relating to human enhancement. This includes natural science subjects such as digital health, sports science, medicalisation, biosciences and genomic sciences, and also includes related experts in the social sciences, arts and humanities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through a combination of short presentation and creative methods, participants will share and reflect on how their work could reshape human agency. It offers the chance for cross-comparison between different technologies to identify patterns and shared challenges on agency and social justice.\u00a0The aim is to identify individual or collective future research agendas, and enable transdisciplinary collaborations.<\/p>\n

There is a small budget for travel and accommodation for external participants. Please get in touch if you\u2019re interested: GSEJ@kent.ac.uk.<\/p>\n
