Ricky Li
I work as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for PAIS and the Philosophy Department. For the Autumn Term 2024-25, I will be leading seminars for a core PPE module: PH338 (Principles of Political Economy: Philosophy & Politics).
In 2022-23, I worked as a Research Assistant in a project concerning medical ethics (PI: Tom Sorell).
I am doing my PhD research in the PAIS department at the University of Warwick, supervised by Prof. Matthew Clayton and Tom Parr. Before starting my PhD, I completed an MSc in Political Theory at the London School of Economics, winning the Best Dissertation Prize (titled Data Ownership, Fraud and the Tainted AI: On the Unjust Means in the Development of Artificial Intelligence: https://www.lse.ac.uk/government/Assets/Documents/pdf/masters/2019/PT-Ricky-Li-2018-19.pdf).
In my PhD project, I hope to identify the normative foundation of rights to personal data, develop a theory of data justice, and apply it to evaluate the plausibility of existing regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and The Data Protection Act 2018.
