Introducing Virginie Mamadouh
Dr Virginie Mamadouh is Associate Professor in Political and Cultural Geography at the University of Amsterdam.
Her research interests include geopolitics and globalisation; transnationalism and ‘new media’; (transnational) migration and territorial identities; electoral geography and urban social movements.
As an appetizer, a key observation in “From the Material Turn to the Emergence of Algorithmic Geopolitics”:
“In the age of algorithm, when we hardly grasp the consequences of the algorithms we have created so far, AI presents a dangerous litmus test of geographical imaginations and geopolitical representations are encoded for machine use.”
Dr Alan Ingram teaches critical approaches to geopolitics and security in the Department of Geography, University College London, where he is Senior Lecturer.
