The Language of Technology - Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal

Ranjodh Singh Dhaliwal is Ruth and Paul Idzik Assistant Professor in Digital Scholarship and English and Assistant Professor of English and Film, Television, and Theatre at the University of Notre Dame. He researches and teaches about the aesthetic and politico-economic entanglements of our technological cultures. His award-winning writing appears, or is forthcoming, in Critical Inquiry, Configurations, American Literature, and Design Issues, among other venues.
He holds a Ph.D. in English and STS from UC Davis and a B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Indore. He has also previously been a visiting fellow at the research Cluster “Media of Cooperation” in University of Siegen, Germany and a graduate student at the Universe of Chicago. His research-which is situated at the crossroads of media theory, science and technology studies, and literary criticism-has been supported by the University of California Humanities Research Institute, Linda Hall Library, and the Hagley Museum, among other institutions.
Professor Dhaliwal is currently working on a book project titled Rendering: A Political Diagrammatology of Computation, which asks 'what exactly is computing?' Illuminating the hard-coded political logics we take for granted in our contemporary digital cultures, his project shows how our cultural narratives, politico-economic formulations, and epistemic beliefs get crystallized into computational hardware and software architectures.
His other projects have found him researching the entanglements between data and narratives, popular discourses of the future in simulation video games, material and cultural histories of artificial intelligence, and new taxonomies of internet aesthetics. He is also engaged in several critical making projects, including a number of public-facing game design endeavours. More information about his work can be found at ranjodhdhaliwal.com.

With 20 departments across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, the College of Arts and Letters is home to exceptional faculty and talented students who are studying what they love. It's an environment to ask big questions, read classic texts, and explore languages and cultures.
We're not just about learning through acquisition. We're about learning through exploration. Our undergraduate students travel the globe to research topics that fascinate them, then turn their observations into conclusions about the world.

Through the liberal arts, you learn to read deeply. Think about issues critically. Discuss topics thoughtfully. Write arguments persuasively. Contribute to projects creatively. And these abilities aren't just vital in the classroom-they're exactly what employers, graduate schools, and service organizations are looking for.
