Current edition of the “Sein und Streit” podcast with CompPHIL²MMA participation
The newly established, DFG funded project ‘The Ethics of State Mass Surveillance’ (Head: Peter Königs, Christian Neuhäuser, Christian Seidel) invites applications for three doctoral positions for a period of three years. Of these three positions, two will be at TU Dortmund (Department of Philosophy and Political Science) and one at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Department of Philosophy). Employment can begin at the earliest possible date. The remuneration will be according to pay group E 13 TV-L, with 65 % of the regular work time.
CompPhil²MMAE cooperates with alumnus Peter Königs and Christian Neuhäuser from TU Dortmund University in a research project funded by the DFG. In three sub-projects, we are investigating the question of how modern practices of state mass surveillance in liberal societies are to be ethically evaluated – with regard to (a) the monitored individual, (b) the democratic society in which surveillance takes place, and (c) the technology companies that participate in state surveillance.
CompPhil²MMAE is involved in a scientific network on “Methods of Practical Ethics” funded by the DFG. The network will investigate moral philosophical methods in applied ethical contexts (such as AI, data protection, climate change, etc.) and reflect on the role of ethicists in the corresponding public discourses.
