Data Decoded

By: Data Justice Hub
  • Summary

  • Data activists from around the world have developed creative methods for archiving and visualizing data, confronting surveillance infrastructures, and fostering communities of practice that invite us to think about data differently. Drawing from interviews with social activists, this podcast series explores the methods that data activists employ, how they have taken them up in social and political struggles, and how they share their knowledge with others. Our aim is to provide a space where the public can learn new methods for engaging with data.
