Scott Midson works from an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersection between theology and technology studies. More specifically, he looks at posthumanism, in considering and exploring the challenges and opportunities that it poses for theology. Much of this work draws on theological anthropology, and involves a critical questioning of what it means to be human against a range of nonhumans (such as nature, animals, and technology) that are excluded from the category of the ‘human’. Crucially, what is investigated is whether such distinctions between the human and nonhuman can be legitimately or ethically maintained, and these are themes that he looks forward to exploring further at ‘BTatP’.
