Lily-Cannelle (she/her) is a Ph.D. student in Sociocultural Anthropology at McGill University. Working at the crossroads of the anthropology of science and technology and of an anthropology ‘beyond the human’, she is conducting an ethnography focusing comparatively on marine biologists researching octopus cognition and on computer scientists researching computer vision artificial intelligence. Her project explores how these different scientists think about thought and intelligence in ways that may be both similar and divergent, and how they relate to their research objects as potentially intelligent beings and entities. Lily-Cannelle completed a Master’s degree in Knowledge Transfer and Mobilization at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) and a Joint Honours undergraduate degree in Anthropology and Art History at McGill University.
