Mobilizing Big Data in Democratic Discourse
Catherine Murray: Professor SFU School of Communication
Tuesday, 3:30 PM March 15 IRMACS Theatre SFU Burnaby

"ENGAGING BIG DATA
Every day, every little piece of data we create contributes to a larger picture — one that reveals important details about our public selves and private lives. There is an emerging struggle and a pressing need to access and mobilize big data in the public interest. Please join us for a fascinating lecture series on the ethics of big data, whether in health care or politics, finance or science, and how the use of community-based big data can help solve real world problems in the public sphere." SFU - Simon Fraser University / President's Dream Colloquium.

The President’s Dream Colloquium on Engaging Big Data is generously funded by the President’s Office, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology, and the Office of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Fellows.
