Alin Bernunzo joined the Media | Transformation department in 2024 as a PhD student, working for the Leibniz-ScienceCampus – Postdigital Participation – Braunschweig.
Her PhD thesis addresses the role of artificial intelligence in the (re)production of epistemic inequality and focuses particularly on the connection between digital violence and epistemic inequality. She employs trans- and interdisciplinary approaches and favours participatory methods and methods that focus on those affected, in order to realise a pluralism of perspectives in her research.
She studied media education, intermedia and media and cultural studies in Magdeburg and Cologne. Her master’s thesis explored the visualisation of transformational educational processes through mapping in the context of structural media education.
After completing her studies she worked as a consultant for electronic learning and university didactics and worked as a researcher on a research project into cyber safety for vulnerable social groups.
Her aim is to develop innovative approaches and new practical and theoretical ways of recording and surveying violence and injustice in order to promote a fairer and more inclusive digital society.
