Dr Afroditi Koulaxi is an LSE100 Fellow at the London School of Economics and Political Science, where she teaches courses on Artificial Intelligence from a social science perspective and Fairness in contemporary societies. She is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AdvanceHE). She earned her fully-funded ESRC PhD from the LSE Department of Media and Communications. Her research explores identity and migration at the intersection of sociology, urban studies, media, and communications. Currently, Dr. Koulaxi’s work investigates climate-driven displacement, with a particular emphasis on the immediate aftermath of Storm Daniel in Greece’s Thessaly region and its significant impact on citizenship, the digital divide, and resilience. Additionally, her recent research delves into digital culture and gender, examining how femicide is communicated on social media through political formal addresses, grassroots denunciations, and celebrity advocacy in Greece. Her forthcoming monograph, “Citizenship in Crisis in Athens: Migration, Media and Identity”, will be published next year by Routledge.
