Data has never mattered more.
Our lives are increasingly shaped by it and how it is defined, collected and used. But who counts in the collection, analysis and application of data?
Kevin Guyan will share key themes from his new book Queer Data: Using Gender, Sex and Sexuality Data for Action, including the relationship between data and visibility, the politics of who and how to count, and how data biases are used to delegitimise the everyday experiences of queer communities.
To attend the event, please ensure you register in advance.
