*/Research theme: Data Justice: Technology, policy and community impact /*

With growing concerns that data mining, ubiquitous surveillance and 
automated decision making can unfairly disadvantage already marginalised 
groups, this research aims to identify policy areas where injustices are 
caused by data- or algorithm-driven decisions, examine the assumptions 
underlying these technologies, document the lived experiences of those 
who are affected, and explore innovative ways to prevent such 
injustices. Innovative qualitative and digital methods will be used to 
identify connections across community, policy and technology 
perspectives on ‘big data’. The project is expected to deepen social 
engagement with disadvantaged communities, and strengthen global impact 
in promoting social justice in a datafied world.
