Publications

Read our new article Exploring Data Justice: Conceptions, Applications and Directions which introduces our Special Issue on Data Justice in the journal Information, Communication and Society. The Special Issue brings together a diverse set of scholars to discuss different aspects of social justice in a datafied society and further examine the concept of data justice.

On our Publications page, you can find further information about recent articles, reports and books, incl. a Special Issue on Big Data from the South and the book Digital Citizenship in a Datafied Society.

Projects

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

Conference

The first ‘Data Justice’ Conference took place on 21-22 May 2018 at Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK. Over 200 participants from around the globe discussed social justice and datafication.
