            I use partnership frameworks and action research to develop data literacy techniques that articulate citizen, community or group values towards private sector use of communal data assets, personal identities, cultural patrimony and the like.  I also study the policy regime for data and advocate for socially-oriented approaches to data regulation in the platform economy.  I call this  (in the vein of Castells and Himanen).  My goal is to encourage socially-oriented regulation that recognizes and prioritizes the community data values that are surfaced and articulated through data-oriented action research. This work is made up of three interlaced research agendas:

1.     Developing citizen data audits (CDAs) as a methodology for conducting community-based action research in the platform economy, and as a technique for advancing citizen data literacy.  CDAs emerge out of the subject access request provisions written into data privacy laws, however my early pilot work found that these provisions further enmesh citizens in dominant platform logics and data discourses.  So my goal is to develop audit logics and techniques that surface and mobilize the logics, values and capabilities of non-state and non-corporate actors as a basis for critical evaluations of corporate data use.  See  for more details.

2.     Studying the political economy of data in the platform economy, which I approach by examining the data-driven business models and data policy frameworks that make up the dominant data regime in a particular context or jurisdiction.  My work has documented the data regime in Canada and Peru, and I am currently conducting larger analysis of the Latin American data regime.  I have also articulated the concept of and positioned it as a research framework for studying digital policy.

3.     Theorizing data as a contextualized phenomenon that is shaped by both the data values of specific groups, and valuations of data within the platform economy.  Here I am inspired by the groundbreaking work of indigenous data theorists, such as Tahu Kukutai of Te Mana Raraunga, the Mauri Data Sovereignty Network, who have on data as a cultural expression, as a transactional necessity within colonial settler relations, and as a sovereign resource under threat of extractivism.  I am also inspired by Jean Kilbourne’s deconstruction of patriarchal discourses in the media in relation to recent work on data feminism by Catherine D’Ignazio.

            My current SSHRC-IDRC funded Partnership Development Grant involves 6 digital rights organizations in 6 countries in Latin America.  They are working with women who buy reproductive products from pharmacies in Peru; Rapi drivers who are seeking access to account data in Colombia; migrants who seek access banking services in Chile; retired people accessing telehealth in Uruguay; and youth accessing pharmacy services in Paraguay.  The goal is to leverage the values identified by each group to conduct audits of corporate actors in each country, and then to theorize these findings in terms of grounded theorization of local data values given the dominant data regime in each country.
