If anyone's in the Cambridge area on Apr20 and wants to pitch in to what will (I hope!) be an interesting and interactive discussion after I've waffled for a bit, please do register! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cambridge Big Data SRI <[log in to unmask]> Date: 8 April 2015 at 09:16 Subject: Seminar: Human-Data Interaction 2-4pm 20 April 2015 To: [log in to unmask] Human Data Interaction - Cambridge Big Data/Digital Humanities Research Seminar 20 April 2015, 14:00-16:00. S1, Alison Richard Building, West Road, Cambridge Speaker: Richard Mortier (Computer Laboratory) The increasing generation and collection of personal data has created a complex ecosystem, often collaborative but sometimes combative, around companies and individuals engaging in the use of these data. We propose that the interactions between these agents warrant a new topic of study: Human-Data Interaction (HDI), that sits at the intersection of various disciplines, including computer science, statistics, sociology, psychology and behavioural economics. In this brief presentation I will pose some of the challenges that HDI raises, organised into three core themes of legibility, agency and negotiability. I will also outline some of the technical work we are currently undertaking that attempts to address some of the underlying platform problems. My hope is to elicit discussion of both the HDI framework and the technical solutions we are pursuing, as well as to engage in a broader conversation about the ways we should approach the personal data ecosystem with other interested parties.
