Data Matters

In this talk, Dr. Melissa Cefkin will discuss how data is made and used in industry research and product design contexts. What kinds of data are used, and how? How are data made trustworthy and useful? Does big data always trump small? Based on her career working as a social scientist amongst computer and data scientists, she will draw on examples from a diversity of application areas, from the development of non-human drivers (for automated cars) to understanding the employee experience, from interface design to policy.

Driving, Data and Design: Anthropological Forays in Industry

Self-driving cars. Smart cities. On-demand work platforms. ‘Intelligent’, sensor-based technical innovations are everywhere, promising great change. Though peoples’ participation with such innovations may be fleeting and invisible, their societal implications are potentially vast. Dr. Melissa Cefkin will reflect on her experience working as an applied social researcher, designer and manager at the center of such developments. Dr. Cefkin has been at the forefront of advancing a critical engagement between the practices of business and technology and the social and human sciences.
