Mark Duffield, Professor Emeritus, Bristol University, is the author of several path-breaking books in the field of development studies and humanitarianism, including 'Global Governance and the New Wars: The Merging of Development and Security' (2001), 'Development, Security and Unending War: Governing the World of Peoples' (2007) and his most recent book, 'Post-Humanitarianism: Governing Precarity in the Digital World' (2018).

In his talk, Professor Duffield will explore the increasing use of 'social robotics' -- the acceptance of the control and direction of human behaviour by automatic smart technologies -- in addressing social and ecological crisis and its implications for the future of democracy.
