The conference focuses on critical questions about data&#8217;s power, reflecting on the social and cultural consequences of data becoming increasingly pervasive in our lives. From the internet of things to smart cities, from surveillance to global finance, data (and data infrastructures) shape our lives, as information is generated, collected and analysed through the apps we use, in ways that are both obvious and imperceptible: black-boxed algorithms and opaque systems are used to profile and sort us, direct our spending and travel, and monitor our actions.<\/p>\n<p>With an exciting <a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/keynote-speakers\/\">line up of keynote\u00a0speakers<\/a>, and a space for presenters to share and reflect on their work, Data Power 2017 aims to explore:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How can we reclaim\u00a0some form of data-based power and autonomy, and advance data-based technological citizenship, while living in regimes of data power?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Is it possible to regain agency and mobilize data for the common good? To do so, which theories help to interrogate and make sense of the operations of data power?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>What kind of design frameworks are needed to build and deploy data-based technologies with values and ethics that are equitable and fair? How can big data be mobilized to improve how we live, beyond notions of efficiency and innovation?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/conference-program\/\">See the conference program.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forms.carleton.ca\/conferences\/data-power-2017\/\">Click here to register now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates:<\/strong> June 22nd &amp; 23rd, 2017<\/p>\n<p><strong>Venue:<\/strong> School of Journalism &amp; Communication, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada<\/p>\n<p><em>Carleton University \u2013 Richcraft Hall (formerly River Building)<\/em><br \/>\n<em>1125 Colonel By Drive<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Ottawa, ON,<\/em><br \/>\n<em>K1S 5B6<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong>\u00a0<em>General registration<\/em> \u2013 $225.00 + HST<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Student<\/em> \u2013 $90.00 + HST<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forms.carleton.ca\/conferences\/data-power-2017\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-288 \" src=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/wp-content\/uploads\/datapowerbannerwhite-400x100.png\" width=\"984\" height=\"246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/wp-content\/uploads\/datapowerbannerwhite-400x100.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/wp-content\/uploads\/datapowerbannerwhite-160x40.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/wp-content\/uploads\/datapowerbannerwhite-240x60.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/wp-content\/uploads\/datapowerbannerwhite-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/wp-content\/uploads\/datapowerbannerwhite.png 1600w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/datapower\/wp-content\/uploads\/datapowerbannerwhite-360x90.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 984px) 100vw, 984px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data Power 2017 follows the successful 2015 conference, held in the UK.
