Charlie Harry Smith

Political Philosopher at the Oxford Internet Institute

I’m a doctoral student at the Oxford Internet Institute and Balliol College, both part of the University of Oxford.

My research considers the normative issues surrounding digital identity systems, with a particular focus on contemporary UK policy. I expect to submit my thesis in 2024.

I already hold an MSc in Political Theory from the LSE and a BA in Philosophy from Durham University. The latter of these involved a year studying abroad at the University of Hong Kong.

Additionally, I now lead development of the UK’s digital identity and attributes trust framework at DSIT.
