On January 29th, 2019, The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz presented the fifth installment of its signature Questions That Matter series— Data and Democracy— at Kuumbwa Jazz Center in downtown Santa Cruz. This discussion featured Pranav Anand, Associate Professor of Linguistics, Lise Getoor, Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, and was moderated by Nathaniel Deutsch, Director of the Humanities Institute. As our society navigates shifting definitions of fake news, targeted ad programs, and compromised voting systems, it is essential that we work to understand the complex and often obscured relationship between data and democracy. As technology increasingly shapes our habits and defines our access to knowledge, it is more important than ever that we understand how we got here and work to imagine a more inclusive, open, and transparent future. The event is part of the THI series exploring on Data and Democracy.
