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’.
