Ciara McHugh, a final year LINCS doctoral scholar, will be presenting a paper titled “‘Racism isn't getting worse, it's getting filmed’: (Counter-)surveillance and BLM". This presentation outlines how Black Americans bore witness during the foundations of the Black Lives Matter Movement in the early 2010s. Ciara’s research is situated at the intersection between protests, policing and counter-surveillance.

Tomás McInerney, a second year LINCS doctoral scholar, will be presenting a paper titled: “Turtles All the Way Down: Explanations and Approximations of Explanations”. His work looks at the use of algorithmic decision-making methods to make administrative and judicial decisions.

This seminar may be of particular interest to PhD/early career researchers across a wide range of disciplines.
