SUMMARY:AI Ethics and the Future of Management Theory with Dr Ramsha Naeem
DESCRIPTION:The growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) in organizational contexts underscores the need for interdisciplinary dialogue between AI ethics and management theory. This seminar explores how established management theories can be revisited and extended through ethical lenses. Building on Bleher and Braun’s (2023) framework—which articulates three ethical dimensions of AI: emotional\, justice\, and governance—we ask: How does AI reshape the emotional\, justice-related\, and governance assumptions embedded within management theories? Using a systematic literature review approach\, we critically evaluate the applicability of this framework to management research and propose an extended model that emphasizes relationality—where processes operate dynamically and interdependently. The seminar concludes by outlining propositions for future research and interdisciplinary collaboration across AI ethics and management. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biography\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Ramsha Naeem\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Ramsha Naeem is an Assistant Professor and Head of the MBA Program at the University of Central Punjab (UCP)\, Lahore\, Pakistan. Her research interests include diversity faultlines\, virtue ethics\, ethical leadership\, strategic HRM\, and digital transformation. She has published her work in peer-reviewed journals and presented at leading international conferences\, including the Academy of Management (AOM). Currently a Visiting Fellow at the Edinburgh Futures Institute\, University of Edinburgh\, she is investigating how AI reshapes employee thinking\, behavior\, and workplace dynamics\, and what ethical frameworks are needed to guide its adoption across cultural contexts in Pakistan and the UK.

SUMMARY:Reframing Criminal Justice Professional Development Seminar
DESCRIPTION:A half-day event on criminal justice\, hosted by The Binks Hub and REALITIES. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an inspiring seminar on reframing criminal justice. \n\n\n\nThe Binks Hub and REALITIES are excited to welcome attendees to a half-day event exploring and championing change within the Scottish criminal justice system. \n\n\n\nLinking to our Easter Ross and North Lanarkshire Hubs\, as well as to our Release Reimagined workstream\, REALITIES has explored\, worked with\, and championed change within the Scottish criminal justice system. REALITIES (Researching Evidence-based Alternatives in Living\, Imaginative\, Traumatised\, Integrated\, Embodied Systems) in Health Disparities is a transdisciplinary UKRI funded project which explores how we might re-imagine the health and social care systems so that they might better respond to the needs of the communities who use them. \n\n\n\nWhether it is through the creation of theatre pieces\, the advocating for accreditation workshops\, or the creation of safe spaces to create art and build community\, the findings from the project have far-reaching and exciting outputs that will be shared in the seminar. \n\n\n\nIn particular\, we will invite attendees to discuss and brainstorm about what this may suggest about the future of criminal justice policy\, research and/or practice. \n\n\n\nOpen to researchers\, practitioners\, and community members\, everyone is welcome to connect and learn.

SUMMARY:The Poetry and Art of Impractical Repairs
DESCRIPTION:What if the breakage of an object is significant emotionally as well as physically? \n\n\n\nWhat then if a practical physical repair fails to account for this? \n\n\n\nIn this Utopia Lab we invite participants to consider impractical repairs of material objects. Sometimes the repair that we would like to achieve with a broken or damaged object is more related to emotion than the physical or utilitarian. Together we will explore how we might repair broken and damaged objects with poetry\, creative writing and sculpture. We will use collaboration\, creativity\, poetry and embodied practices to investigate how these ideas and techniques can help us to imagine positive futures and affect change in the present\, and through the course of the session you will construct your own Impractical Repair Kit\, for all your future impractical repair needs. \n\n\n\nPlease bring with you a broken or damaged object that you would like to repair in this way\, and a preparedness to discuss this with the group. After opening with meditation\, movement and poetry\, we will use creative writing exercises to express to each other what our objects represent and what kinds of repair we seek. We will then conceptualise ways in which we can use simple sculptural materials in our repairs\, compose poems and craft sculptural elements to give expression to those repairs. \n\n\n\nAbout the organisers\n\n\n\n\n\nUtopia Lab\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt Edinburgh Futures Institute\, Utopia Labs curate interactions between academics\, artists\, entrepreneurs\, students\, and audiences in person and online globally. We are interested in that which is provocative and irreverent as well as that which is nurturing and joyful. Utopia questions are catalysts for inquiry\, learning\, and creativity. With an emphasis on innovative\, embodied and experimental ways of communicating\, we explore meditation\, dialogue and co-creation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBinks Hub\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the Binks Hub we conduct arts-based participatory research by bringing communities\, practitioners\, artists and academics together as equal partners to share and develop knowledge. Using art\, crafts and other creative methods and practices we investigate how to tackle the issues that matter most to people\, and explore how we can co-create solutions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiographies\n\n\n\n\n\nJennifer Williams\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Credit: Gintare Kulyte\n\n\n\n\n\nJennifer Williams is a poet\, Creative Projects Manager at Edinburgh Futures Institute\, and founder of Utopia Lab\, which she now co-curates with Matjaz Vidmar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosephine Balfour-Oatts\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosephine Balfour-Oatts is an AHRC-funded PhD researcher in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh.

SUMMARY:How Users Imagine Archival Research
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on the development of JPCA Explore and how it reflects wider issues around creating human-scale digital projects. \n\n\n\nHow Users Imagine Archival Research: JPCA Explore and Digital Curation at the Smithsonian National African American History and Culture Museum. \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, the National Museum of African American History and Culture created a first-of-its-kind position at the Smithsonian Institution: a senior-level curator with the wide-ranging portfolio of “digital interpretation.” Filling this position has called for creative education\, especially when working with curatorial colleagues with a range of experiences and interests in digital humanities. In the past year\, we’ve had a unique opportunity to introduce the possibilities of digital discoveries internally through the JPCA Explore project. \n\n\n\nThe Johnson Publishing Company Archive (JPCA) is the largest collection of 20th-century African American publishing materials\, including a core collection of over 3 million photographs. The JPCA was purchased in 2019 by a consortium of funders – the Ford Foundation\, the J. Paul Getty Trust\, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation\, the Mellon Foundation\, and the Smithsonian Institution. Since 2022\, it has been formally co-stewarded by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and Getty. \n\n\n\nJPCA Explore is an experimental discovery lens in the larger in-development JPCA digital eco-system. Based on a hand-selected subset of 3\,000 images\, Explore uses a bespoke metadata schema to invite users with zero research experience to create their own discovery paths by selecting inter-connected images. Explore was designed with an eye towards how the general public imagines archival discovery- moving from file to file\, noticing connections\, discovering the unknown. It has also served as an internal education tool\, demonstrating the possibilities of digital humanities work as well as the intensive resources that are required to make those possibilities real. \n\n\n\nThis talk will focus on the development of JPCA Explore and how it reflects wider issues around creating human-scale digital projects that still represent the magnitude of larger collections. By creating an interface with a focus on archival discovery\, and at the same time completely ignoring archival hierarchical structures\, this project seeks to implement Black Digital Humanities concepts to create new avenues into this archive. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biography\n\n\n\n\n\nDorothy Berry\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDorothy Berry is the Digital Curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Holding an MA in Folklore and Ethnomusicology and an MLS from Indiana University’s School of Informatics\, Computing\, and Engineering\, she was recognised with Library Journal’s “Movers and Shakers” award and the Society of American Archivists’ Mark A. Greene Emerging Leader Award (2020–2021). Dorothy’s first book\, The House Archives Built and Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibilities\, was released on 16th October 2025. Following a sold out initial print run\, the book is now available for pre-order. \n\n\n\nHer work centres on harnessing digital innovation to deepen engagement with African American history\, particularly through archival discovery. Whether developing interpretive tools in the museum context or designing precise metadata frameworks\, she strives to make Black history both accurate and engaging online. Dedicated to broadening access to cultural heritage\, they seek creative ways—digital and physical—to reconnect communities with their often displaced histories.

SUMMARY:Geddes and the Scottish Generalist Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Situating Geddes\n\n\n\nThe Data Civics Observatory is inspired by the work of the sociologist\, urban planner\, and polymath Patrick Geddes (1854-1932) and his pioneering ideas about the evolution of the city. But how can we situate Geddes intellectually\, culturally and politically to give context to this work? In this short series of talks we explore this question by placing Geddes in his cultural-political context and speaking to his enduring relevance to urbanism\, civics and ecological thinking today. \n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nThis talk places Geddes within the Scottish interdisciplinary tradition (what George Davie called The Democratic Intellect) and explores Geddes’s global links\, both at in the early twentieth century and today not least with reference to his influence in Japan\, India and the USA. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Biographies\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Murdo Macdonald\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Murdo Macdonald is Emeritus Professor of History of Scottish Art at the University of Dundee. He is author of Scottish Art in Thames and Hudson’s World of Art series. He has worked extensively as an art critic and is a former editor of Edinburgh Review. Along with Will Maclean RSA and Arthur Watson PPRSA he developed the practice-led PhD programme in Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. Other research interests include Robert Burns and art\, and the cultural milieu of the Celtic revivalist and ecologist Patrick Geddes\, not least with respect to cognate cultural revivals in India and Japan. In 2005 he co-edited Patrick Geddes: By Leaves We Live\, jointly published by Edinburgh College of Art and Yamaguchi Institute of Contemporary Art\, with text in Japanese and English. His book Patrick Geddes’s Intellectual Origins was published by Edinburgh University Press in 2020. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Chair: Liz McFall\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Liz McFall is Director of the Data Civics Observatory at Edinburgh Futures Institute and Personal Chair in the Sociology of Markets. She is an interdisciplinary sociologist with research interests that cross the social studies of insurance\, cultural economy and market studies. Her recent research explores historical\, spatial and infrastructural connections between institutional investment\, urban governance and everyday social life. This informs the Data Civics programme which draws inspiration from Patrick Geddes in its emphasis on using digital and experimental ethnographic methods to investigate the social\, political\, cultural and economic dimensions of civic planning\, governance and placemaking.

SUMMARY:Utopia Lab: Keeping Death Close
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nJoin Utopia Lab Residents in contemplation as we ask how keeping death close can change the way we live and think today and in the future. \n\n\n\nIn early March 2026\, a small group of researchers\, artists and practitioners will be in residence in EFI Utopia Lab\, considering within this space and from many angles death\, grief\, mourning and loss. \n\n\n\nDuring the residency\, we will use the ‘no space’ of utopia to imagine what death might look like in the future\, and to discover what we can learn from these imaginative experiments that could help us to navigate grief\, loss and mourning from personal and global perspectives in the present. \n\n\n\nWe invite you to join us as we share what emerges from the residency. As there is no pre-determined output or end point for our explorations\, we cannot say what we will be sharing but we promise it will be mindful\, curious and welcoming. \n\n\n\nWe are aware that death is a topic that could be activating for many reasons and want to stress that we are not therapists or counsellors\, and this is not a space where we can provide therapeutic or clinical assistance for those in need of support other than in the form of direction to potentially helpful resources. We will seek to ensure that the space and any actions within the space are deeply mindful and respectful to all who enter. \n\n\n\nAll attendees will be welcome to take breaks or leave at any point during the event if they wish to do so. \n\n\n\nA photographer will be present to document the event sensitively but will ensure that no one is photographed partially or at all if they would rather not be. \n\n\n\nLight refreshments will be provided. Any questions\, please contact EFI Creative Projects Manager\, Jennifer Williams\, at j.l.williams@ed.ac.uk. \n\n\n\nResidents\n\n\n\nLuke Aitken is a student on the MA Graphic Design course at the Edinburgh College of Art. Luke completed his undergraduate degree in Product Design with a focus on speculative\, future focused design. He has a keen interest in making complex systems and taboo topics highly accessible through visual design. Past projects vary from unravelling autonomous tech in the space sector through the use of bananas\, exploring future metrics of health\, and organising and directing a futures design exhibition featuring young designers from across Britain. \n\n\n\nJosephine Balfour-Oatts is an AHRC-funded doctoral researcher in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh. Working with SupportED\, Scotland’s community eating disorder charity\, her project investigates disconnections between traditional anorexia fiction and the complex cognitive realities of eating disorder recovery\, exploring how experimental narrative forms might address this divide and enrich bibliotherapeutic interventions. As a Peer Support Worker at the Adult Eating Disorder Service in NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde\, Josephine integrates lived experience with both clinical practice and academic research.

SUMMARY:Traveltech Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:​Building Agentic AI Workflows – An Interactive Session. \n\n\n\n​Curious about agentic AI and what all the fuss is about? This session is a relaxed\, practical introduction to what agentic AI is\, how it differs from the AI tools many of us already use and how it can help automate and support real\, day-to-day work. No hype\, no heavy theory\, just a clear look at how it works and why it’s useful. \n\n\n\n​Sam Weston\, Siobhan McMorran and Huw Morgan from 80 DAYS will kick things off with a quick overview before diving into a hands-on workshop using n8n\, a powerful workflow automation platform. Together\, we’ll build an agentic workflow step-by-step (what could possibly go wrong!) and show how AI agents can be connected and guided to tackle practical business challenges. \n\n\n\n​By the end of the session\, you’ll have built your first agentic workflow and leave with a better sense of how agentic AI might fit into your own role or organisation. \n\n\n\n​To get the most from the session\, we suggest bringing your laptop and signing up for a free n8n trial a few days beforehand (it’s a 14-day free trial)\, so you can follow along and join in on the day.

SUMMARY:Preserving Digital Cultural Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nOn the internet\, even the recent past can become inaccessible\, as anyone who has ever clicked on a broken hyperlink will know. Preserving recent digital heritage comes with its own complications. In addition to the official and national institutions that are charged with preserving our cultural history (i.e. galleries\, libraries\, archives and museums)\, grassroots efforts are also being made. These “rogue archives” (De Kosnik) are built by different people for different purposes. Examples include the Internet Archive\, Project Gutenberg and the fanfiction site Archive of Our Own. \n\n\n\nThese archives have different priorities\, which can be seen by how their structures and affordances determine what they house and how it is accessed. As a result\, they make visible and invisible certain types of cultural heritage for certain audiences. Taking fanfiction and Archive of Our Own (AO3) as an example\, this talk discusses what is at stake in preserving digital cultural heritage from the recent past\, and how AO3’s metadata structure works to prioritise some content and user groups and not others. While it was built with the feminist principle of inclusivity in mind\, not all communities have felt included in the way the archive operates. \n\n\n\nWe will end with a discussion of how the structural limitations of digital archives\, as well as the contemporary information landscape\, offer specific challenges when interacting with and recovering recent digital heritage. \n\n\n\nDr Suzanne R Black received her PhD from the University of Edinburgh for doctoral work examining the interconnections of a range of literatures in the twenty-first century digital literary sphere. With a background in English Literature\, she combines humanities approaches with digital methods\, and has worked across a range of projects involving data and the creative industries. For more information\, please see www.suzannerblack.com. \n\n\n\nThis event will take place in room 2.55\, floor 2\, Edinburgh Futures Institute. Please inform us of any access requirements by emailing cdcs@ed.ac.uk. Further details about how CDCS uses your information obtained from booking onto our events can be found in our Events Privacy Statement. \n\n\n\nAs of March 2022\, the government formally removed all Covid restrictions in the UK. We ask that you continue to be considerate of others’ personal space\, and please do not attend if you feel unwell or have any Covid symptoms.

SUMMARY:Epistemic Injustice and Mental Health System Survivor Knowledge
DESCRIPTION:A seminar on epistemic injustice and mental health\, led by Tamsin Oudney Walker and Sarah Golightley \n\n\n\nThis session will draw on theories of epistemic injustice and Tamsin’s PhD research to outline some of the difficulties survivors of the mental health system can face when trying to articulate their experiences and/or to share this with others. \n\n\n\nTamsin will then cover some of the ways survivors have responded to these challenges\, identifying the resources survivors use to make sense of and communicate experience and how those can vary in relation to neurological or psychological differences. \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude by thinking about what can build or diminish survivors’ confidence in their ability to make sense of experience and how we can create supportive contexts for the sharing of survivor knowledge and experience. \n\n\n\nTamsin and Sarah will then be available for questions and discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\nTamsin Oudney Walker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTamsin Oudney Walker recently completed her PhD about survivors of the mental health system\, epistemic injustice and zines\, at the University of Lancashire. This work was part of a wider project exploring mental health related zines: madzines.org funded by Wellcome Trust.Prior to this she worked in voluntary sector mental health services for over twenty years\, providing direct support\, developing and managing services and doing a lot of work around involvement and survivor voice. She also has experience of using services and of working as a freelance illustrator and author (Not My Shame\, Singing Dragon; Otis Doesn’t scratch\, PCCS books; Not ready Yet\, Only Women Press). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Golightley\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Golightley’s research\, teaching\, and social work practice have focused on supporting marginalised people who have experienced violence. She is passionate about uplifting the perspectives of service users/survivors/lived experience experts and challenging the power inequalities in who is listened to in social research and social work practice. Her present research focus is on institutional violence and the pathologisation of youth in the USA ‘troubled teen industry’. \n\n\n\nPrior to moving into academia\, Sarah worked with LGBTQ+ victims/survivors of domestic abuse and LGBTQ+ homeless youth. She is currently conducting the Canadian Therapeutic Boarding School Research Study.

SUMMARY:CDS Seminar Series: Jonathan Gray
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book talk on Public Data Cultures by Jonathan Gray.  \n\n\n\n​The book nurtures critical and creative engagements with public data as cultural material\, medium of participation and as site of transnational politics. It explores how activists\, journalists\, artists and others work with public data as well as looking at how critical perspectives can make a difference in practice. \n\n\n\n​After a short book talk\, there will be a collective discussion moment and time to catch up with others with overlapping curiosities. \n\n\n\n​”In an era when ‘data’ seems so often a tool of oppression and control\, this book provides a marvellous\, salutary exploration of its deployment for social change. This is a core optimistic message for our times; Gray is the ideal guide.” – Geoffrey C. Bowker\, UC Irvine \n\n\n\n​”This is an enchanting guide to a defining phenomenon of digital culture\, which shows how different worlds may come about through practising data otherwise.” – Noortje Marres\, author of Digital Sociology \n\n\n\n​From the book blurb: \n\n\n\n\n​Public data shapes what we know and how we live together. It is often digital\, freely available and related to matters of shared concern\, from global warming graphs to collaborative spreadsheets documenting mass layoffs. It circulates via maps and apps which enable us to discover\, report and rate what is around us. \n\n\n\n​Public Data Cultures explores the practices and cultures of how data is made public in the age of the Internet. Looking beyond familiar narratives of data as a resource to be liberated or protected\, this book offers new perspectives on public data as networked cultural material\, as medium of participation and as site of transnational politics. To better account for how data makes a difference\, the book argues for a more expansive conception of what is involved in making data public. In doing so\, it focuses not just on removing restrictions but also on caring for arrangements involved in making data public in ways that grow shared understanding and solidarity in responding to the many intersecting troubles of our times. \n\n\n\n\n\n​Nurturing critical and creative engagements with data\, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of media\, communications\, Internet studies\, science and technology studies and digital humanities\, as well as artists\, designers\, engineers\, reporters\, public sector workers\, community organisers and activists working with data. \n\n\n\n\n​About the author: \n\n\n\n​Jonathan W. Y. Gray (@jwyg) explores the roles digital data\, methods and infrastructures in shaping how we know and live together. He is the author of Public Data Cultures (Polity\, 2025). At King’s College London\, he is Reader in Critical Infrastructure Studies at the Department of Digital Humanities and co-director of the Centre for Digital Culture. He is also co-founder of the Public Data Lab; research associate at the Digital Methods Initiative (University of Amsterdam) and the médialab (Sciences Po\, Paris); and has taught with the School for Poetic Computation in NYC.

SUMMARY:Amelia Acker - Book Talk: "Archiving Machines: A Material History of Data Storage"
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a punch card you can hold in your hand. A reel of magnetic tape spinning in a basement. A Palm Pilot collecting dust in a drawer. Your smartphone pinging a cell tower every few seconds. These data storage formats are evidence of how archiving became something machines do for us\, rather than something we do for ourselves. This interactive book talk uses early mobile computing artifacts to tell the hidden history of how we lost control of our data. Each object marks a shift in who structures\, stores\, and can access the digital archives we generate with every click\, swipe\, and search. \n\n\n\nArchiving Machines: From Punch Cards to Platforms examines how ‘archive’ became a verb in computing cultures\, and how this shift enabled a political one. Today\, corporations\, not individuals or institutions\, largely control access to our data archives. By tracing moments of technological transition through material objects\, this work offers both a critical genealogy of asymmetric access and grounds for imagining alternative futures for digital cultural memory. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nAmelia Acker is an Associate Professor in the School of Communication & Information at Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey. Her research on data management and digital preservation has been supported with funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services\, the National Science Foundation\, the Sloan Foundation\, the Ford Foundation\, and the ACM History and Archiving Fellowship. Acker’s projects address the representation and loss of digital traces\, the history of data management\, and the transmission of information through time. She investigates how infrastructure and organizational practices shape the preservation\, accessibility\, and governance of data\, with a particular focus on the impact of platforms\, software\, and AI on archives and digital memory. Acker is the author of Archiving Machines: From Punch Cards to Platforms (MIT\, 2025).
