UNSW Sydney is offering generously funded 4-year PhD scholarship(s) for interested applicants to work on Data Justice: Technology, policy and community impact. We welcome EOIs from qualified applicants with an interest in researching the social justice implications of datafication, with a focus on marginalised communities.

*/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.
