Governing Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Reclaiming Academic Authority, Institutional Legitimacy, and Public Trust in Higher Education
I am an academic researcher and Associate Lecturer with research interests in university led governance of artificial intelligence, academic authority, cross cultural leadership, and the future of higher education. My work examines how universities can integrate artificial intelligence responsibly while preserving academic legitimacy, ethical integrity, and public trust.
About Me
I am an academic researcher and Associate Lecturer with a background in International Business and Higher Education. My research focuses on how artificial intelligence is reshaping academic decision-making, governance structures, and institutional authority within universities.
I am particularly interested in university led models of AI governance that protect academic values, human development, and public trust while enabling responsible innovation. My work draws on institutional theory, legitimacy theory, and cross-cultural leadership research, with a focus on higher education systems in the UK and international contexts.
