Andrew Iliadis
I'm an Associate Professor at Temple University in the Department of Media Studies and Production (within the Klein College of Media and Communication), and I serve on the faculties of our Media and Communication Doctoral Program, Cultural Analytics Graduate Certificate Program, and Science, Technology, and Society Network. I also sit on the Executive Editorial Boards of Philosophy & Technology and Digital Society and the Editorial Board of the Journal of Responsible Technology.
My work focuses on the social implications of data science with specific interests in semantic computing (things like metadata, web schemas, knowledge graphs, and applied ontologies) and embodied computing (things like wearables, embeddables, ingestibles, and implantables). I have conducted interviews with developers, archival research, and comparative analyses of digital tools and methods for data sharing. I also use computational methods in my research, including network analysis and natural language processing.
I maintain an active research agenda and have work published in New Media & Society, Social Media + Society, Communication Theory, The Information Society, Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Information, Communication & Society, Global Media and Communication, Big Data & Society, Philosophy & Technology, Journal of Information, Communication and Ethics in Society, Journal of Communication Pedagogy, and Online Information Review, among others. I've provided media commentary and am available for interviews and consultations.
Prospective graduate students: I am interested in working with students on empirical investigative research on technology industries, organizations, and products.

Beta version published 2012, first version published 2013.
Les six articles constituant le dossier « Technique et technoscience après Simondon » sont ainsi le fruit d’une journée d’étude qui eut lieu à la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme Paris-Nord en mai 2016, et qui réunissait cinq conférenciers appartenant au CIDES ainsi que Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, dont le travail sur l’idée de technoscience est devenu une référence. Ce dossier comprend deux pans, que l’on peut respectivement qualifier de « techno-logique » et de « techno-scientifique », la différence entre eux étant que le premier s’ordonne à l’idée simondonienne de la constitution philosophique d’une discipline – la « technologie » -, tandis que le second interroge les conditions mêmes d’existence d’un réel concept de technoscience – par-delà la « cacophonie » dénoncée par Gilbert Hottois, qui est à la fois le créateur de l’acception philosophique de ce terme et l’auteur de la première monographie sur Simondon.
Body-centered computing now goes beyond the "wearable" to encompass implants, bionic technology, and ingestible sensors--technologies that point to hybrid bodies and blurred boundaries between human, computer, and artificial intelligence platforms. Such technologies promise to reconfigure the relationship between bodies and their environment, enabling new kinds of physiological interfacing, embodiment, and productivity. Using the term embodied computing to describe these devices, this book offers essays by practitioners and scholars from a variety of disciplines that explore the accompanying ethical, social, and conceptual issues.
The contributors examine technologies that range from fitness monitors to neural implants to a toe-controlled mouse. They discuss topics that include the policy implications of ingestibles; the invasive potential of body area networks, which transmit data from bodily devices to the internet; cyborg experiments, linking a human brain directly to a computer; the evolution of the ankle monitor and other intrusive electronic monitoring devices; fashiontech, which offers users an aura of "cool" in exchange for their data; and the "final frontier" of technosupremacism: technologies that seek to read our minds. Taken together, the essays show the importance of considering embodied technologies in their social and political contexts rather than in isolated subjectivity or in purely quantitative terms.
