We welcome contributions for the conference Emerging Research on Datafied Living organized by the Datafied Living Project and hosted by the Center for Tracking & Society, University of Copenhagen, on August 27 and 28, 2025. Datafied Living addresses how digital tracking, carried out by oneself or other actors across personal, work, and institutional contexts, might contribute to human flourishing.
Aligned with the goals of the organizing project, the conference will explore the complex intersections of datafication, technology, and everyday life. It aims to examine how data permeates and structures human activity, from work and leisure to health and intimacy. It facilitates conversations between established and emerging methodologies for studying experiences of and infrastructures for datafication.
The first day of the conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and bring together emerging and established scholars. The program will include interactive sessions, network-building opportunities, mentoring, and panel discussions. Confirmed discussants include Sun Sun Lim (Singapore Management University), Juliane Jarke (University of Graz), Anne Kaun (Södertorn University), Thomas Poell (University of Amsterdam), Minna Ruckenstein (University of Helsinki), and Taina Bucher (University of Oslo).
