Digital Data & Society Consortium
https://digitaldatasociety.wordpress.com/
We are a group of researchers who take a social, cultural, political and
ethical perspective on digital data, both ‘small’ or personal data and
large or ‘big data’ sets. We bring together expertise across the social
sciences, humanities and legal studies to engage in critical data
studies. We are researching the following areas: a) How people make
sense of the personal data that digital devices collect about them; b)
How they incorporate these data into their everyday lives; c) What
people know about the other actors and agencies who are using their
data; d) The sensory and affective aspects of digital data; e) Locative
devices, mobilities and data; f) Data literacies; g) The implications of
big data for humanities and social science research and practice; h)
How big data are influencing ideas about the social and society; i) The
politics of big and small data; j) The sociomaterial dimensions of
digital data collection, storage and use; k) Dataveillance, data privacy
and security issues; l) The legal and ethical issues around personal
and big data, including human rights; and m) Innovative methods for
using and researching personal and big data. This will be added to Social Informatics Subject Tracer™. This will be added to Business Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™.
