Productive margins, regulating for engagement: Women and data futures 2017

DOI

Workshops data, consisting of notes made by the University of Bristol researcher of workshops held in each locality. Topics included data privacy, understanding of personal and big data, the role of digital data in participants’ neighbourhoods, and how big data companies use personal data. 'Women and Data Futures’ was a joint project and knowledge exchange between two community organisations: the Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC) in Bristol and the 3Gs Community Development Centre (3Gs) in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. Both organisations were involved as partners in the Productive Margins: Regulating for Engagement programme. This project aimed to explore perceptions of local women about the use of the personal data they put online (such as on Facebook and Snapchat), and how they could take some control over their personal information online. Data was collected through six workshops in each location between February and March 2017, and a workshop with both groups together in May 2017. Further information including two podcasts, one based on sound recordings from the workshops, and the other from a public symposium on data held in October 2017, are available on the KWMC website.
