New associate senior lecturer in law and theory

Published

Starting 1 September Dr Matilda Arvidsson is our new associate senior lecturer in law and theory at the Department of Law.

The position is part of the larger interdisciplinary project “AI, the social contract and democracy” (https://www.gu.se/forskning/ai-the-social-contract-and-democracy), financed by WASP-HS, and headed by av professor Gregor Noll, Department of Law, and professor Elena Raviola, HDK-Valand. As part of her position, Matilda will pursue a five-year research project entitled “Democratic participation, AI and Law in the Human+ Condition”. The core idea of the project is that current conditions of increased digitalization and AI in public governance and social life – the human+ condition – calls for a re-evaluation of who or what the demos of democratic governance is or can be; how democratic participation and governance change as a consequence; and what can and should be done in order to ensure open and inclusive societies, democratic values and technological development as an integral part of it.
