Description

Performing Political Neutrality in Digital Democracy Projects

Civic technology projects try to create non-political online tools. This… isn’t easy. Creating data about parliaments and governments is hard to do without bringing along the political context that creates that data. In this short talk, Alex Blandford (Oxford) will look at the ways that data is made and the anxieties about its use, creation, reuse, and ownership.
