This two-day conference will explore the role and transformations of the state in an age of datafication and what this means for social justice and resistance. It will examine the interrelations between data-driven technologies and government, the changing role of corporations, emerging popular responses, and efforts to democratise datafication. Hosted by the Data Justice Lab at Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC) in the UK, it will bring together international scholars, practitioners and community groups to discuss the nature and implications of the datafied state.
The DN34 International Conference on Discourse, Identity and Polarisation
This hybrid conference provides an interdisciplinary space for examining how individual and group identities are discursively constructed in today's increasingly polarised societies, and how discourse both reflects and shapes emerging social divisions.
