Ramesh Srinivasan, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Information Studies
I study the relationship between technology, politics and society. Via the UC-wide Digital Cultures Lab, I explore the meaning of technology worldwide as it spreads to the far reaches of our world. In my recent work, I examine the relationships between new technologies and our political, economic, and social lives. This includes such themes as tech’s relationship to democracy, social movements, and elections; automation, the gig economy, and worker futures; algorithmic bias and AI; and the relationship between tech and the nations and peoples of the global South.
