How do we tell stories with the data? Big data calls for a collaborative approach. How do we co-create tools with diverse viewpoints at the table? • Big data is creating a global digital nervous system. How do we design ethical tools to govern this data? • Big data is our generation’s civil rights issue. What does it mean to link types of data to how it is used?

  4. Making Data Matter “Big Data” Tools, Ethics, and Social Change Bass Connections in Information, Society and Culture Learning objectives: Understanding “big data” in transformative real-world context while mastering and designing cutting-edge tools and methods In Making Data Matter, you will: • Create access to historically, social significant large spatial and temporal heterogeneous datasets • Examine deep ethical issues as well as technical ones about big data • Develop new kinds of open source tools for better analysis of records, artifacts, maps, images, text and oral narratives • Work across the human and social sciences, the computational sciences, engineering, mathematics, urban and environmental planning, and with libraries, labs and community space • Scan and digitize primary sources and complete collection indexing • Co-create crowdsourced GIS software • Visualize and analyze digital maps • Understand urban growth policy Prerequisites: None required. A willingness to work in a collaborative team environment.
