Projects

The Lab is working on several major projects: DATAJUSTICE (an ERC Starting Grant funded by the European Research Council); Data Scores as Governance: Investigating uses of citizen scoring; Towards Democratic Auditing: Civic Participation in the Scoring Society (both funded by the Open Society Foundations); and Data Policies: Regulatory Approaches for Data-Driven Platforms in the UK and EU (in collaboration with ITforChange, funded by the IDRC). We have also created the Big Data from the South initiative (in collaboration with DATACTIVE) and are keeping a Data Harm Record. Find out more about all our projects on our projects page.

Research

At the Data Justice Lab we carry out research that engages with data analytics from a social justice perspective. This includes research that examines the implications of institutional and organizational uses of data as well as research that provides critical responses to potential data harms and misuses. Areas of research include (but are not limited to):

  • Data discrimination
  • Data colonialism
  • Digital labour
  • Prediction and Preemption
  • Data ethics
  • Algorithmic governance
  • Social justice-informed design
  • Uses of data by social justice groups
  • Data-related activism and advocacy
