Conference

The Second Data Justice Conference – Civic Participation in the Datafied Society – took place on 20/21 May 2021. It was an online event packed with renowned keynote speakers, live sessions, pre-recorded presentations, workshops, culture, and a social space for hanging out with your conference friends. Find out more on the conference page and watch the keynote plenaries.

Data Literacy

As part of our recent research project Towards Democratic Auditing: Civic Participation in the Scoring Society we have published a guidebook of data literacy tools for advancing data justice. Assembled and analysed by Jess Brand and Ina Sander, the document provides an overview of different types of tools that aim at educating citizens about datafication and its social consequences. You can download the pdf here.

Also, check out Ina Sander’s latest academic article on critical big data literacy tools in Data & Policy.

Participation

As data analytics are implemented in the public sector, state-citizen relations are increasingly affected by algorithmic decision-making. But citizens are rarely asked about this and have few possibilities to intervene. To advance civic participation in decisions over the roll-out of data analytics systems, the Lab has published a guidebook for public sector institutions. It highlights promising models such as citizen juries, community oversight, and citizen-oriented data infrastructures, and points to useful examples and further resources. You can download the guidebook as pdf in the English and Welsh language.
