Keynote event: The Ethical Use of Sensitive Data
Wednesday 12th February 2025, 2:00pm
The Library’s Research Data Team is excited to announce our main event for Love Data Week 2025, exploring the theme “Whose Data Is It, Anyway?”
During this event, we will have two extended talks focusing on researchers who have hands on experience with handling sensitive data as well as lightning talks from researchers who are working in this area.
Keynote: Charlie Knight
Our first talk features Charlie Knight, a PhD candidate at the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations at the University of Southampton. Charlie, a former Wolfson Foundation Scholar and upcoming Fellow at the Leo Baeck Institute, will discuss his research using the papers of Theodor Hirschberg (archive MS314) and how he integrated the process of handling this sensitive data into his research in an ethical way.
Lightning Talk: Design Archaeology: on the Smartwatch, Aybala Cakmakcioglu
Aybala Cakmakcioglu is a Teaching Fellow in the Global Advertising and Branding programme at Winchester School of Art. With a background in industrial design and brand communication, Aybala’s research spans digital culture, everyday life, and the philosophy of technology. Her PhD thesis, titled ‘Design Archaeology: on the Smartwatch’ aims to form a holistic understanding of the smartwatch as a contemporary product since it has the potential to reveal the tangled dynamics between people and technology. The research explores present phenomena by benefitting from the past with a design archaeological approach. By exploring recurring patterns and historical parallels, her work offers valuable insights into digital culture by exploring concepts such as quantified self and information discipline.
Lightning Talk: CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance, Laurisa Sastoque Pabon
Laurisa Sastoque Pabon is Digital Preservation Training Officer in the Digital Humanities Team at the University of Southampton. She will talk about the CARE principles for handling data which were originally proposed for indigenous data but can be useful when dealing with data collection from any marginalised group. Prior to joining the university, Laurisa received an MPhil in Digital Humanities at the University of Cambridge where her dissertation work was comprised of a digital mapping project on the subject of the Colombian diaspora in the United States and the United Kingdom and the drug trade. Laurisa is originally from Bogotá, Colombia, and has also lived in Evanston, Illinois, where she completed her undergraduate degree in History, Creative Writing, and Data Science (Minor) from Northwestern University. In her spare time, Laurisa enjoys travelling, hanging out at coffee shops, and fantasizing about the dog she will (one day) adopt.
Keynote: Ben Jarman
The second half of the event will be led by Ben Jarman, a Research Fellow in the School of Law at the University of Southampton. Ben’s work explores the experiences of long-term prisoners and the moral implications of extreme punishments in the UK. Ben will discuss some ethical considerations arising with qualitative data derived from prison interviews, and consider what implications arise for the Open Data agenda more generally.
Register for this event on the ethical practices in handling sensitive data across disciplines.
