Ethics, Technology and Society is a blog about the many ways in which science and technology impact our daily lives, help shape our understanding of the world around us, and are shaped by the social communities within which we exist. It was started in 2009 by Jason Millar.
Jason Millar’s is a PhD student in Applied Ethics at Queen’s University, Kingston. His interests lie at the intersection of ethics, technology and society.
His current research focuses on applied ethics and science and technology studies, with particular interests in the democratization of science and technology and the (bio)ethical issues surrounding transhumanism and the human-machine merger.
Jason earned a B.Sc. in Engineering Physics from Queen’s University and worked as an engineer for several years prior to earning a B.A. and M.A. in Philosophy at the University of Ottawa. While at the University of Ottawa he worked for several years on On the Identity Trail, a multidisciplinary SSHRC funded project, researching the legal and philosophical issues surrounding privacy in the digital age. While completing his M.A. Jason also worked as a technology policy analyst at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and published a book chapter on privacy (in the first ever Oxford University Press publication licensed under the Creative Commons).
