The course addresses the process of datafication through the lenses of data visualization. Datafication is pervasive in contemporary society, presenting both challenges and opportunities for individuals and communities. However, it is neither a neutral nor a natural process. It occurs within specific sociotechnical systems, shaping and being shaped by their contexts, and has profound, far-reaching implications The course will explore this process dealing with the most urgent issues such as bias in data and data fairness and then, building of the critical understanding of data processes, it will introduce the key elements of practical data visualization using Tableau.
