Event information
Professor Matilda Arvidsson is the series editor for the Routledge series in Law, AI, and Society. In this workshop, Professor Arvidsson will provide a meet-and-pitch opportunity, geared towards PhD, ERC and senior researchers who are interested in landing a book contract with The Routledge Book Series on AI, Law and Society. The event will start with a presentation of the book series focus and aim, as well as more general advice on writing and pitching an academic book proposal. Participants are then invited to make a brief presentation to pitch and discuss ideas for books with Professor Arvidsson, as well as to receive feedback on their book proposal ideas and plans.
The AI, Law and Society book series adopts an open approach to AI. This means that the series welcomes analyses of AI and related technologies and technological phenomena – such as blockchain, DAOs, and digital twins – from within any institutional setting. This is inclusive of technological, political, legal, financial, and governmental designs of which AI is part. Proposals can be theoretical, analyzing conceptually the use, regulation, experience, and the socio-political impact of AI; they can be historical, outlining changes in how AI and related technologies have emerged and are governed; they can be material-empirical oriented, tracing or mapping the geo-political legal realities and labour embedded in AI; and they can assume a more contemporary-diagnostic approach, exploring, for example, the emergence of post-national or post/hyper-capitalist AI-governed spaces, agencies, and new subjectivities. The series is committed to inviting proposals that discuss AI-human-non-human links and formations, not only from “Western” perspectives and legal traditions, but also from de-colonial, indigenous, and related perspectives.
