About
Andrew Routledge is a lecturer in normative political theory with a background in analytic philosophy. He completed his PhD at the University of Manchester, where he also previously worked. His current research centres on the ethics of artificial intelligence and the policy challenges it raises, with particular interest in the implications of generative AI for the education system, and society more broadly. In addition to this, he is developing a new interdisciplinary approach to the study of humour, examining the political character of comedy, and its diverse emancipatory and repressive functions.
At the University of Liverpool, he teaches on Introduction to Political Theory, Public Ethics, Foundations in Politics, and Studying Politics Successfully. He has also recently introduced the new module, Thinking about Politics, and serves as the Employability Lead for the department, as well as convening the local community placement module.
Alongside his academic work, he is a regular contributor to a variety of public engagement events, speaking regularly around the country on topics across politics and philosophy.
