Summary

Professor Rebecca Eynon of the Oxford Internet Institute has been elected a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in recognition of her research on education, technology, and social justice. Her work critiques uncritical adoption of digital technologies and AI in learning contexts and examines how inequities arise from their design and use. While she holds an advisory role with the Australian Research Council's Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child, this item is an institutional recognition announcement rather than a substantive policy or research output.
