Süd-Süd-Nord-Wissenschaftler Daniel Castellón

We are made of stories, we are interwoven paths in a chaotic and wonderfully complex world. We are united by preferences, tastes, and a sense of community—this, I believe, is the case with a doctoral program. A community of people who feel the need to grow in their knowledge of the world and apply it to improve our quality of life and make it a better place. 

My work lies in understanding, from an epistemological perspective, the intersubjectivities that are developing through the use of AI among university students. Determining the systems for validating truth, the mechanisms used by algorithms, and the social forms that underpin the influence of new technologies on the development of knowledge are key, I believe, to shaping the future of higher education. 

I am certain that engaging with other professions from the perspective of social psychology in Heidelberg will enable me to understand the configuration of all these social systems and to use them to promote a transformative and, above all, humane education. 

I am sure that this experience will be entirely rewarding.
