This
course examines the issue of justice in regard to data and the
gathering, processing, and utilization of such data. Decision-making and
resource allocation are significantly influenced by the methods of data
collection, visualization, and analysis.
Students will interact with
important texts in media and communication studies as well as research
from STS, anthropology, history, and other fields in this course.
Students will explore the complex challenges surrounding data justice,
such as power imbalances, bias and discrimination, privacy and
surveillance, and the role of data in social and economic injustice,
through a combination of theoretical texts, case studies, and
interactive discussions. The importance of data as a crucial
battleground for social justice and inclusion in the digital era will be
critically understood by the students.
