Writings

A mix of philosophical/technical explorations and fleeting thoughts


06–29–2023       Ontology = Mathematics??? Badiou’s Militant Ontology and Black Nihilism
What is technical philosophy against or outside of Heidegger? What is ontology outside of Heidegger's poetic framework? Badiou bases his metaontology on the decision that mathematics, specifically Cantor's set theory provides a basis for a fundamental ontology of the pure multiplicity as the way to understand being.

Ngozi Harrison

Information Studies PhD Student @ UCLA

I am a PhD student at UCLA in the department of Information Studies where I am advised by Dr. Safiya Noble

My research is focused on the social aspects of mathematical knowledge, particularly the mathematics and computational methods behind AI, algorithms, and sociotechnical systems. I am interested in how mathematical methods and formalizations affect the algorithmic technologies we use everyday and my goal is to create just liberatory technologies.

My interests stretch across critical scholarship on technology, mathematics, and computational methods

Research Interests
ML Fairness and Ethics, Mathematics of Machine Learning, Social Aspects of Mathematical knowledge, History and Philosophy of Mathematics, Logic, and Computation, Applied Category Theory, Data Justice, Critical AI Studies
