Ingmar Mundt
Ingmar Mundt is a sociologist and researches the role of digital technologists (esp. predictive algorithms), data and knowledge in future and risk predictions. His research focuses in particular on the sociology of technology and knowledge, science and technology studies, as well as critical algorithms/data studies. In his PhD project, he is working on the emergence process of 'predictive knowledge' in the interaction of actors and predictive algorithms.
He studied Economics (B.A.) and Future Studies (M.A.) in Berlin and Sociology (M.Sc.) at the University of Edinburgh.
