Joel Adejola

About

I am a writer, an artist, and a researcher. My work asks how we know.

I founded The Pingback to develop instruments for forming, testing, and sharing knowledge, and Inganci to work on physical intelligence through sport. Pingback is upstream — better knowing is what makes better doing possible. The common thread between these is applied epistemology.

Before this I was an applications engineering intern at Texas Instruments, working on gallium nitride motor-driver technology, and an investigative journalist. I co-authored an investigation for the ICIR into ₦2bn of fire-fighting equipment abandoned at Abuja Stadium, and reported another into the disenfranchisement of over a million teenage voters in the 2023 Nigerian general elections. I wrote a resolution for the KU Student Senate finding that university housing had misapplied federal dual-employment law.

I am Nigerian. Abuja is home; since then I have lived in Johannesburg, Casablanca, and Lawrence.
