Description: Dr. Amaro's work emerges at the convergence of Blackness, psychopathology and the critique of computational reason. Dr. Amaro draws on Frantz Fanon’s theories of sociogenic alienation to problematize the de-localisation of the Black psyché in contemporary computational systems such as machine learning and generative adversarial (neural) networks.
