SUMMARY:Technology’s Role in Media\, Data Journalism\, and Fighting Fake News? A Session in the Fast Company Innovation Festival
DESCRIPTION:The media industry has never been under more scrutiny than it is today. Technology\, a primary culprit in the proliferation of fake news\, can also be used to provide clarity for the public. And we’ve started to witness the democratization of large-scale data analysis and connected data methods that provide journalists the opportunity to employ new technologies to check their facts. Join this in-depth talk with Columbia Journalism School\, New York University\, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ)\, and Neo4j\, the leading provider of graph database technology\, and learn how in this day and age of big data\, data leaks\, and social media\, technology is helping uncover potentially world-changing stories. Used by groundbreaking organizations and media outlets like the ICIJ and NBC News\, Neo4j’s graph technology is capable of analyzing gargantuan amounts of data to pull out connecting relationships to probe for fake news. \nTickets at https://fastcompany.swoogo.com/innovationfestival18/tickets

SUMMARY:Opening Up Research for the Greater Good? Ethics\, Privacy\, and Data
DESCRIPTION:In the current political climate\, opening up access to research and research data can be both a moral imperative and a careless decision that puts the lives and livelihood of the most vulnerable at risk. In this panel discussion and roundtable\, three scholars will discuss the social and ethical responsibilities of gathering\, curating\, and sharing data from very different perspectives. \nPresentation descriptions below. Register Here \n\nManan Ahmed\, “Torn Apart/Separados: Visualizing Data for/with Critical Eyes”\nMy talk will center on the team-led data-curation and visualization project from spring and summer 2018 which focused on the activities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the announcement of a policy of family-separation at the southwest borders of United States. I will discuss the ways in which scholars and activists used the Data was used to reveal a hidden cartography of forced separation as well as the ethical concerns of data-curation which led them to re-think the role of visualization in public awareness campaigns. My talk will rely on conversations\, ideas\, expertise\, and intellectual labor of the entire team behind #TornApart/Separados fully credited at the site: http://xpmethod.plaintext.in/torn-apart/credits.html. \nLaurie Allen\, “Open Data\, Data Rescue\, and Risk”\nIn this talk\, Laurie will return to the fall and winter of 2016/2017 when she joined with collaborators in the Penn Libraries\, Penn Program in Environmental Humanities\, and many others to start Data Refuge. Over the first 6 months of 2017\, they supported more than 50 events around the country in an effort to document and save federally produced Environmental and Climate Data. Now nearly two years after that project began\, she’ll reflect on those data saving efforts\, risks\, and the responses to risk. \nMary Marshall Clark\, “Documenting Truth in a Time of Denial and Surveillance: Ethical Dilemmas Oral Historians Face”\nDrawing upon political oral history projects conducted by the Columbia Center for Oral History\, and mentoring Oral History MA students who use oral history to document the historical present\, I will talk about the challenges of using oral history to address the human rights challenges of our times. As oral history moves into a deeper engagement with human rights and commits to making its archives transparent and relevant\, we are also faced with new levels of technical surveillance\, monitoring and danger in using named sources. Simultaneously our ethics demand that we use our increasing ability to work across borders\, often under the radar\, to collect narratives and build historical evidence towards the goal of achieving historical truths that counter mass media\, and/or government accounts. How do we protect ourselves\, and our sources\, in doing this crucial work? \n
