John R. Emery received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of California, Irvine in 2019. He is currently a Jerome and Hazel Tobis Fellow at UC Irvine’s Interdisciplinary Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morality. Dr. Emery’s research agenda lies at the intersection of historical International Relations, technologies of war, and international ethics. His research explores how evolving military technologies like AI, Big Data, and lethal autonomous weapons systems are constituted by our epistemological and philosophical assumptions of IR and international law, which his work interrogates. His examination of drones, IR theory, and ethics of war has been published in Ethics & International Affairs, Peace Review, and in edited volumes published by Georgetown University Press and New York University Press.
