Great insights by @annliffey, particularly the ideas of how we can understand agency in a #datafied society, how we as researchers can explore it and how we must focus on the ways citizens can reclaim it by developing critical imaginations! #TechSocKeywords
Splendid slide from @annliffey on roles and potentials for academics in terms of what they could do in datafied societies - full of possibilities and potentials for scholars to act! #TechSocKeywords
