Course description: This advanced course invites participants to critically engage with the process of ontological cartography, applying it to situate their own research topics and methods within core ontological debates. We use the rapidly evolving landscape of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and its political economy as the central case study. 

The course aims to demonstrate the profound, yet often overlooked, relationship between one’s fundamental philosophical assumptions and the practical realities of research design and implementation in the field of complex social sciences.
