Josephine Seah is a PhD candidate in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cambridge. She is interested in smart cities, digital sociology, and algorithmic cultures. Her doctoral research examines how the “smart citizen” is constructed in the creation of the smart city and how residents in such cities make meaning out of data-driven technologies that make up smart city projects.
She holds a BSocSc in Sociology from the National University of Singapore and a MSc in Political Sociology from the London School of Economics.
Before joining the department, she was a research associate at the Centre for AI and Data Governance in Singapore, where she worked on issues of responsible and ethical AI at the Centre’s Ethics Hub.
