Global Dialogue Seminar Series, Seminar 2: Who speaks? AI and the politics of research, education, and creativity

When: Tuesday, February 10, 2026, 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Where: Online

We are thrilled to invite you to the second seminar of the Global Dialogue Series on AI, Voice, and Decolonial Knowledge!

About the session

How is AI reshaping ideas of knowledge generation, education, and creativity? This seminar will explore the political, pedagogical and creative tensions and possibilities introduced by the rapid uptake of generative AI. Some of the topics it may cover include predatory data harvesting and exclusionary publishing, the dominance of English-language scholarship, and unequal access to AI technologies. Can it enhance curiosity-driven learning and new expressions, but also reinforce silencing, exclusion, bias, and homogenisation?

Speakers and chair

  • Dr Mark Carrigan 
  • Dr Helen Beetham 
  • Dr. Carlos Eduardo Souza Aguiar 
  • Dr. Mojisola Adebayo 
  • Dr. Anamik Saha (Chair)

About the Series

Global Dialogues Series on AI, Voice, and Decolonial Knowledge

This virtual research seminar series explores how generative artificial intelligence reshapes authorship, creative production, and human understanding through a critical and decolonial lens.

Bringing together scholars, activists, artists, and practitioners from across the Global South and Global North, the series interrogates the use and impact of AI in knowledge production, representation, and alternative forms of voice and expression.

This is not just another online seminar: we invite embodied, situated, and collective forms of engagement. Together, we aim to:

  • Build a global community that creates space for difference
  • Resist extractive models of knowledge exchange
  • Ask difficult questions and share radical practices
  • Imagine what it means to think, write, create, and live with and against AI

Who we are

Borderlines X The Institute for Creative Futures

Borderlines is an interdisciplinary research collective at Queen Mary University of London focused on social justice, decolonial practice, and radical, experimental approaches to knowledge. We bring together scholars, artists, students, activists, and organisers who work across and beyond disciplinary boundaries. Our members are based across the world, including in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Canada, Europe, India, Mexico, and the United States. We support early career researchers and student-led initiatives, and our work is shaped by collaboration, critical enquiry, and a commitment to challenging the norms of academic knowledge production.

The Institute for Creative Futures at Loughborough University London brings together research and postgraduate teaching in Design Innovation, Communication and Media, and the Creative Industries. Based in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and connected to London’s East Bank cultural district, the Institute works with global partners to explore how creativity and technology can shape positive social and cultural change. Our research spans sustainability, innovation, and the role of media and communication in power and social transformation.
