Fulbright Visiting Scholar 2024

Many of you know this already, but at last I’m formally allowed to announce that I’ve been awarded a Fulbright scholarship and will spend the first half of 2024 as a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Elon University, North Carolina.

It’s one of the most prestigious scholarships in the world, with a rigorous selection process, so I’m delighted to be one of the lucky recipients.

I’ll be researching anticipatory ethics – think ways to foresee & evaluate potential harms of emerging tech – and teaching a postgraduate module on ethics in interactive media. I also expect to visit other US institutions across academia and industry to give guest lectures and help advance discussion of this important topic. Please drop me a line if you might be able to host me for a visit.

Since the Fulbright programme is also focused on cultural exchange, I’ll also be going all-in on college sports fandom, BBQ wars, community pop-up chess nights, making Welsh cakes for confused Americans, etc.

I’m excited about this chance to participate in a scholarship programme that delivers real impact, advancing human knowledge and tackling global challenges, and I’ll be sharing more about my experience as I go.
