Aims/Description: In this module, we investigate a broad range of data usage purposes including organisational management, policy-making and service-oriented decisions. It promotes an awareness of power dynamics in data practices and addresses questions like, 'How might we create a positive culture around data use, and influence effective 'data-driven' decision-making?'; 'In what ways are data used to influence decisions, and what are the effects?' It covers methods to improve the transparency of data use, algorithmic fairness, disinformation on the Web, criticality aspects of data literacy and wider societal impact of data science and bias.
