Data Justice: Authenticity, Agency, and Advocacy

Data Justice: Authenticity, Agency, and Advocacy

Presented by: Srivi Ramasubramanian, PhD, Newhouse Professor & Endowed Chair

Description: Against the backdrop of rising global inequalities, misinformation, and right-wing authoritarianism, this presentation takes a critical decolonial lens to discuss the role of data as a tool for social justice. We consider 3A's - Authenticity, Agency, and Advocacy - in how data are conceptualized, accessed, evaluated, and shared. We apply these principles to our own project and positionality to brainstorm more ethical ways of approaching data.
