The University is pleased to welcome Prof. Singh, visiting professor at the AI-CODED Research Centre from April 28 to May 13.
Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal holds the professorship in Digital Humanities, Artificial Intelligence, and Media Studies in the department of Arts, Media, and Philosophy at the University of Basel, where he also directs the Digital Humanities Laboratory.
He was previously the Ruth and Paul Idzik Collegiate Chair in Digital Scholarship and English at the University of Notre Dame.
Co-author (with Théo Lepage-Richer and Lucy Suchman) of Neural Networks (University of Minnesota Press and meson press, 2024), and his award-winning writing—situated between media theory, literary studies, computer science, political economy, critical design, and science and technology studies—can be found in Critical Inquiry, Configurations, American Literature, Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, ACM FDG, ACM UIST, and Design Issues, among other venues. In his current book project, “Rendering: A Political Anatomy of Computation,” Dhaliwal examines the history of technology to show how our cultural narratives, politico-economic formulations, and epistemic beliefs become crystallized into computational hardware and software architectures.
He is an incoming president of the Society for Literature, Science, and the Arts (SLSA).
