About
Frederik Heinz is a political theorist and investigates the political implications of state digitization in the research group ”Technology, Power and Domination”.

He studied philosophy, sociology and political theory at the Goethe University Frankfurt, the Technical University Darmstadt and the University of Toronto and teaches at the University of Hildesheim. In between, he supported various digitization projects for federal ministries as a management consultant, including a strong focus on digital sovereignty.
