معرفی
Jannick Schou is an Assistant Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen, specializing in the intersection of political science and science and technology studies (STS). His work critically examines digitalization's impact on welfare states, citizenship, and democracy, particularly in Denmark. He explores topics like post-truth discourses, moral economies in digital welfare systems, and the socio-political implications of digital governance.
His research employs ethnographic methods and critical theory to analyze how digital technologies reshape state-citizen relations, bureaucratic practices, and social exclusion. Key themes include neoliberal governance, fake news dynamics, and the transformation of public sector institutions through digitalization.
Schou has published extensively on digital welfare state policies, the politics of falsehood, and digital media's role in propagating xenophobic narratives. His work bridges theoretical frameworks from cultural political economy and post-foundationalist political analysis to offer critical insights into contemporary democratic challenges.
His advising includes students like Jannik Friberg Lindegaard and James Maguire, focusing on digital governance and citizenship. Research trends in his articles emphasize state rescaling through digitalization, moral mediation in welfare work, and the socio-technical architectures shaping democratic discourse in the digital age.
