Did you get a Spotify wrapped at the end of 2024? What kinds of data make that possible? Could you make a better wrapped by analyzing your own data? How about other platforms like Netflix, TikTok and others? In this online workshop, attendees will learn how different platforms and apps collect data about their users, how it can be requested and what you can learn about yourself by analyzing your data.

Online forums are rich sources of public data, offering insights into diverse topics and communities. However, this data often comes with anonymity, raising unique challenges and ethical concerns. This panel discussion will explore the complexities of using forum data for research and analysis: What are the benefits of studying anonymous versus non-anonymous online discussions? How do we address issues of privacy, representation and authenticity? Panelists will discuss case studies, policies and best practices for leveraging these digital conversations.

This workshop will discuss the growing calls in Canada and around the world to recognize and respect Indigenous Data Sovereignty and consider the importance of moving beyond the theoretical implications of this movement, using Wampum as an example.
