Iñaki Goñi

I am an interdisciplinary researcher specialising in democratic studies, responsible design, and the social studies of technology, with a general interest in the relationship between technology and society.

My work includes large-scale participatory processes, such as Chile’s recent constitutional reforms and the Global Citizens’ Assembly for People and Planet. I have taught courses on responsible innovation, culture-centred innovation, and the social impact of technology.
