Data Literacy

As part of our current 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.

Covid-19

Data and the technology sector have played a big role in responses to the Covid-19 pandemic. For some less prominent but important voices in this debate, take a look at the series of articles that we helped create on the blog platforms Big Data Sur and Bot Populi.

Members of the Lab have also participated in government roundtables and civil society evidence reviews on contact-tracing apps and have made comments in the media about developments in the UK regarding a new data superstore for the NHS, and the growing use of profiling tools by councils.
