What is data justice? How do we understand datafication from the perspective of social justice? We have written a book that explores different dimensions of this question, looking at the data economy, politics, governance and policy, citizenship and activism, global and local impacts. Published with Sage In September 2022, the book will be the first of a book series on Data Justice with Sage Publications, edited by the Data Justice Lab. We are looking forward to several planned books in this series that will advance the debate on data justice.
How can citizens participate in, and intervene into, the rapid roll-out of data systems in the public sector? How can we democratise datafied governance? Our report Civic Participation in the Datafied Society (pdf) explores a variety of strategies, from citizen juries to oversight bodies to civil society campaigns and alternative discourses. It provides findings from our 3-year research project Towards Democratic Auditing. You can find a summary of the key issues from the report on our new website https://www.datafiedsociety.org/
