Darian Meacham (D.E.)
Research profile
I research how the things we build shape the way we make sense of the world and interact with one another, in politics, at work and in scientific practice.
My research focuses primarily on how technological developments impact and transform our experience and understanding of central political concepts like sovereignty, solidarity, citizenship, community. The scope of this investigation is global, but there is a specific focus on the European Union, in both its internal and external politics, as a scene for techno-political co-production and change.
My approach is grounded in a phenomenological method that explores, in the first instance, how meaning is formed in the multi-faceted relations between individuals, groups, institutions and technologies.
