Bio

Dr Justine Gangneux joined UBDC as a research associate in May 2020. She has received an MRes in Global Security and a Ph.D. in Sociology and Education from the University of Glasgow. Prior to joining UBDC, Justine worked on various research projects in areas such as digital media, data literacy, youth studies, smart cities, and governance.

Her research is driven by an interest in 1) examining the impacts of datafication, digital platforms and technologies on social relations, social justice and experiences of inequality, 2) exploring new forms of inclusive data governance and stewardship, and challenging the asymmetrical power relations between private corporations and citizens to build fairer societies and 3) using digital and participatory research methods to critically engage citizens with data processes and support them to enact their digital rights.
