Contemporary Philosophy of Technology RG

The Contemporary Philosophy of Technology Research Group based at The University of Birmingham

[Ioana Cerasella Chis @CerasellaChis]

After 4+ years of active involvement in @philoftechbrum (founded in Autumn 2015), I‘m stepping down from the committee due to a lack of time to spend on the project & other commitments piling up.

If you’re interested in the philosophy/politics of tech, please do get involved!!

[Contemporary Philosophy of Technology RG @philoftechbrum]

Are you aware of research groups whose committee members are based in different countries & contribute without having to travel to the main place where the RG is based?
If so, we'd like to hear more about how it works!
