DATA&US: A SERIES OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DATA

Data is an inescapable aspect of contemporary life – it seems to permeate everything we do as well as what is done for us and in our name. Yet, its workings remain elusive and often invisible. The goal of this series is to contribute to a much need conversation on data, exploring its entanglements with our lives and imagining how it can be otherwise.

With an amazing roster of speakers we seek to make visible the political, economic, power, material, social and judicial dimensions of data, through an analysis of themes such as, AI in the home, planetary surveillance, mechanisms for holding big tech accountable, personal identity, and privacy, among others.

Once a month we meet online at 6.30pm (GMT) for a new conversation (in English). Attendance is free but registration is required. Register here.

DATA&US is an initiative of researchers from IADE (Universidade Europeia) and the ICNOVA (Institute of Communications of Universidade Nova de Lisboa). The organization of this initiative is led by Ana Viseu (IADE/ICNOVA), in partnership with Cristina Ponte and Paulo Nuno Vicente (NOVA FCSH/ICNOVA) and Sofia Ponte (IADE/ID+).
