Critical Data Studies

Critical Data Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the ways in which data is collected, analyzed, and used in society. It focuses on understanding the implications of data practices, including issues of power, privacy, ethics, and social justice. By critically analyzing data technologies and their effects on everyday life, this field seeks to uncover biases, inequalities, and the potential for misuse of data. Ultimately, Critical Data Studies aims to promote more transparent and equitable data practices that empower individuals and communities rather than control or marginalize them.
