A just state for everyone? Researching access to administrative justice in the digital era
In this podcast I will give insights into my research project on access to justice in the context of increasing digitalization of public services. The project's starting point is the observation that the digital transformation of public services comes along with two interlinked challenges: the risk of social groups being excluded from these services (digital inequality) and, as a result, restricted access to justice - a fundamental right that is also a prerequisite to exercising other rights. Applying a qualitative mixed-methods approach in a multi-sited case study I will investigate citizens' experiences as well as public ombud institutions' practices in promoting equal access to administrative justice for all.

Episode 9: Omnipresent digitality and AI’s limits: South Korean experiences
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I share insights from my field research in South Korea, one of the leading countries in the domain of digitalization and AI. I discuss the omnipresence of digitality, which refers to the condition of living in a digital culture, as I encountered it in public space and in interviews with people working in the public sector. The interview partners highlight that there are certain things AI cannot do (yet) and that in some cases there is only a thin line between protection and surveillance, for instance, regarding the so-called smart plug which monitors movements in people's homes.
