Data & Society Research Institute 182d ago

When Data & Society was founded ten years ago, it was rooted in the insight that data-centric technologies have broad and often unseen impacts on society — and that to better understand those impacts and realize technologies that reflect our highest values, we need interdisciplinary, empirical research. Today, the urgency of that vision is palpable: How societies choose to design and govern technology will determine our collective future. On September 26, 2024, we celebrated Data & Society's tenth anniversary with a special event in Brooklyn, NY, bringing together our incredible network of alumni, friends, and supporters. Along with reflections from Data & Society Executive Director Janet Haven, Board President Charlton McIlwain, and Founder danah boyd, the program included a panel discussion and lightning talks.
