Dr Mike Ryder

Lecturer in Marketing

Research Overview

My interdisciplinary research sits at the intersection between literature, philosophy, history, technology studies and social science. I also conduct practice-based research relating to digital marketing and reflective practice / work-based learning.

I am particularly interested in the impact of new technologies, and the philosophical relationship between humans and machines.

Keywords: biopolitics, technology, consumption, science fiction, robots, AI, drones, ethics, war.
