Antoinette Rouvroy is research associate at the FRS - FNRS (National Fund for
Scientific Research) and senior researcher at the Information Technology and Law Research
Centre (CRID) of the University of Namur, in Belgium. Her research interests - much
influenced by the 'Foucauldian' governmentalist pespective - revolve around the
mechanisms of mutual production between sciences and technologies and cultural,
political, economic and legal frameworks. Her doctoral research at the European
University Institute of Florence (Human Genes and Neoliberal Governance: A Foucauldian
Critique. Abingdon and New-York, Routledge-Cavendish, 2008 - nominated for the Hart
Socio-Legal Prize for Early Career Academics 2009), looked at the knowledge-power
relations in the post-genomic era and addressed the issues of genetic privacy and
discrimination in the context of neoliberal governance. Besides these interdisciplinary
research interests in the law, ethics and politics of human genetics, she is increasingly
involved in (European and national) research projects on the ethical, political and legal
challenges raised by the new information, communication and surveillance technologies
(CCTVs, RFIDs, ubiquitous computing, ambient intelligence,...).
The interdisciplinary tone of her work has oriented - and has been oriented by -
fellowships at the Center for Philosophy of Law of the Université Catholique de Louvain,
at the European University Institute in Florence, at the Science & Technology Studies
Unit of the University of York, and at the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy of
McGill University in Montreal.
***Additional content (earlier and, hopefully, forthcoming works) will soon be made
available. In the meantime, have a look to my favorite upcoming conferences (and calls
for papers), websites, research centres, research networks and
researchers'blogs.***
