Data Futures Lab: A Data Stewardship Orientation - Key Questions About Power and Data

This session will take place in Spatial Chat across Data Futures Video room & Data Futures Lab Q&A room in the Room List. You can watch the presentations in the Video room and ask questions with presenters in the Q&A room.

More and more people are becoming interested in how the data about them is gathered and managed. But what is data and how do we relate to it? Do we own it, or merely have rights over it? What is data stewardship? Is data social, or should we view it as infrastructure? How do intersectional power dynamics shape the use and governance of data? These are the big questions underlying the various approaches to data stewardship. They are also the source of many differing opinions. Join us for a fantastic line-up of some of the foremost thinkers and doers in data stewardship, providing lightning insight into some of these pressing questions.
