The Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab is pleased to announce the selection of five Notre Dame graduate students for its Tech Ethics Graduate Fellowship program. After a competitive application and evaluation process, the students were selected based on their outstanding research proposals on topics such as fair methods of evaluating human labor in the digital age, the efficacy of privacy policies, and the role of technological advancement in violent conflicts.
During their two-year fellowships, in addition to continuing their dissertation research, Graduate Fellows will form interdisciplinary research collaborations with Notre Dame faculty, mentor Notre Dame undergraduates, and develop their research into a suite of applied deliverables such as discussion-starting green papers.
“We’re very excited to welcome our first cohort of Graduate Fellows. They are a promising and diverse group of young researchers demonstrating impressive creative thinking capabilities. We’re honored to have them and look forward to witnessing and supporting their important research moving forward,” said Nuno Moniz, Director of the Tech Ethics Lab.
Graduate Fellows will receive a stipend of $5,000 per semester for participating in the fellowship program. They will be active in the intellectual life of the Tech Ethics Lab and the University Ethics Initiative throughout their fellowships.
The Tech Ethics Graduate Fellows are:
- Noah Karger - Ph.D. Student, Theology
- Perla Khattar - J.S.D. Student, Law
- Will O’Brien - Ph.D. Student, Peace Studies and History
- Emma Schmidt - Ph.D. Student, Political Science
- Kesavan Thanagopal - Ph.D. Student, Philosophy
A new call for Graduate Fellowships with the Technology Ethics Lab will launch at the end of the Spring 2024 semester. Learn more about fellowship programs at the Technology Ethics Lab at techethicslab.nd.edu/fellowships.
