Social Justice in an Age of Datafication - Lina Dencik
Offered By: Alan Turing Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intersection of social justice and datafication in this thought-provoking lecture by Lina Dencik from the Alan Turing Institute. Delve into the implications of data-driven decision-making on individual and social life, examining the concept of surveillance capitalism and its impact on crucial societal aspects such as welfare, education, crime, employment, and border control. Gain insights into the Data Justice Lab's findings on the use of data technologies by UK local authorities. Challenge the simplistic binary of security versus privacy, and discover a broader framework for understanding these developments through the lens of social justice. Learn about the 'data justice' research framework, which addresses the uneven distribution of data processes, potential discrimination, and the creation of new social stratifications. Explore how predictive analytics and data-driven technologies transform political processes and relate to wider interests and power dynamics in society. Engage with critical discussions on the challenges, concerns, and political implications of the growing reliance on data in decision-making processes.
