A growing body of literature examines the work that goes into creating, collecting, managing, curating, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating data. These investigations detail the practices and processes involved in making data useful and meaningful so that aims of becoming ‘data-driven’ or ‘data-informed’ can become real. Drawing on these rich contributions, the time is now ripe for comparing and framing data work across domains, occupations, and locales. This workshop will initiate such comparisons in order to identify core themes and issues around data work and to lay out a research framework for investigating it. By building a broad understanding of the practices, occupations, tools, and concerns that characterize data work across domains, we will help to shape a toolbox for the study of data work, a broader agenda for future research in data work, and movement towards an integrated framework for the study of data work.
To apply, submit a position paper or case study from your research of up to 4 pages in length in the ACM Submission template. Papers should be submitted to Katie Pine (khpine@asu.edu) with the subject header “Data Work Workshop Submission [author(s) last names].” Papers will be reviewed by workshop co-organizers and participants will be selected based on relevance to the workshop theme on the basis of the position papers. Accepted papers will be made public via the workshop website only with permission of the authors (this is optional).
Format: The workshop will be held virtually via a videoconferencing platform such as Zoom. Instructions for virtual attendance will be sent in advance of the workshop.
Important dates:
Submission Deadline: February 21st
