Celebrating one year of Oxford Intersections
Oxford Intersections is our online interdisciplinary research resource, inviting academics and global experts to investigate the world’s most urgent and challenging subjects from all angles.
As we mark one year since the programme launched, we reflect on the over 300 articles we’ve published since then, covering over 250 subject areas from authors all over the world.
Intersections are organized by topic, inviting ideas from different disciplines to clash, complement, and counterpoint, prompting new viewpoints and questions. Explore some of the original content published so far in our first four topics:
AI in Society
Philipp Hacker, General Editor of AI in Society, and Chair for Law and Ethics of the Digital Society at European University Viadrina:
“AI in Society investigates AI’s pervasive influence on our economic, legal, personal, and cultural spheres. It takes a unique format, in which contributors from various disciplines collaborate to chart both the promises and societal challenges of AI, with particular attention to generative AI models and their global impact. From my perspective as its General Editor, AI in Society aims to serve as a reliable reference point for ongoing debates on how to align technological innovation with fundamental rights and societal values.”

Racism by Context
Meena Dhanda, General Editor of Racism by Context and Professor of Philosophy and Cultural Politics at the University of Wolverhampton:
“Combatting racism requires an unflinchingly analytical understanding of the roots, the history, the manifestation, the mechanisms, the proliferation, and the entanglement of its many forms within institutions and practices across all spheres of human interaction. Racism by Context has undertaken this enormous challenge by bringing into conversation cutting-edge research from different global locations.”

Social Media in Society and Culture
Laeeq Khan, General Editor of Social Media in Society and Culture and Associate Professor in the School of Media Arts & Studies at Ohio University:
“Addressing today’s most pressing challenges requires a new approach to thinking. An interdisciplinary transformative approach can advance knowledge by exploiting and harmonizing the strengths of various disciplines within a unified framework. This approach deepens our collective understanding by bringing together the disparate and sometimes contradictory perspectives of many disciplines, all of which offer valuable insights.”
