The Politics of Data

A series of projects I undertook between 2014 and 2017, exploring the social and political implications of digital data:

  1. The Politics of Data (LSE Impact Series)
  2. The Philosophy of Data Science (LSE Impact Series)
  3. Digital Futures (Discover Society)
  4. The Politics of Data (Science) (Discover Society)

A related project is Digital Methodologies.

Please note

Much of this website is a virtual notebook, filled with ideas in progress. If you're more interested in the conclusions I came to than how I got there, please see my formal publications.
