Dear conference participants,

In my role as Head of the School of Journalism, Media and Culture (JOMEC)here at Cardiff University, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to ourcity and the Data Justice Conference.

The collection, processing, networking and storage of extraordinary amountsof data is an increasingly contentious concern in public life. With rapiddevelopments in digital media, ‘smart’ technologies, Internet of Things andArtificial Intelligence, datasets are now a central part of the fabric ofcontemporary society, effectively transforming the nature of our economy,politics, culture, and everyday life. Such transformations require considered

investigation and critique as we come to grips with the opportunities, risks and challenges theypresent for individuals and communities. This conference provides a necessary occasion to criticallyreflect on their implications by situating social justice concerns at their centre.

JOMEC is an excellent place for reflection and debate as it combines established research interests onmedia and journalism with newer debates on digital environments. It is a place of world-leadingresearch and scholarship with both practical training and stakeholder engagement with industry andcivil society. JOMEC ranked 2nd in the United Kingdom in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) forthe quality of its journalism, media and communications research. The Communication, Culture andMedia Studies assessment panel awarded the school the highest possible score of 100% for theimpact of its research on the wider world.

The School addresses the challenges of current and future digital environments through a variety ofinitiatives, including its research group 'Digital Media and Society', MA/MSc programmes in 'DigitalMedia and Society' and 'Data and Computational Journalism', its Centre for Community Journalism, anda breadth of research on topics ranging from online citizen media and digital activism to digital cultureand creative industries, and to internet governance, humanitarian communications and the protectionof civil rights on the internet. The Data Justice Lab, which launched last year, builds on and advancesthis work with its central focus on the social justice implications of datafication.

I wish you an inspiring conference and a good time here at JOMEC and in Cardiff.

Professor stuart allanHead of the school of Journalism, Media and culture

WELCOME NOTE FROM JOMEC’SHEAD OF SCHOOL

Welcome to the Data Justice Conference hosted by the Data Justice Lab at Cardiff’s School ofJournalism, Media and Culture. The ‘datafication’ of society provides opportunity but also presentsserious implications for social and economic inclusion, autonomy, basic freedoms, rights, ethics, trust,systems of accountability, governance and citizenship. This conference brings together an internationalgroup of scholars, practitioners and activists who are concerned about the interplay betweendatafication and social justice.

We are joined by participants from around the globe, including some of the leading thinkers on datajustice issues. Over the next two days we will discuss how data affects and intersects with questions ofdiscrimination; social transformation; colonisation and decolonisation; ethics; digital infrastructure;politics; labour; civil society and activism; accountability and democracy. Alongside this, we’ll have anumber of practical workshops on a range of activities, including critical data making, trust by design,data challenges with AI and a policy hackathon.

We are thrilled to welcome all of you to the conference and also to Cardiff, a city rich in history, cultureand social justice work. We hope you enjoy the conference and your time here. As the first Data Justiceconference, we also hope this event provides an opportunity for further collaboration and action.
