DESCRIPTION:The increasing generation and collection of personal data has 
 created a complex ecosystem\, often collaborative but sometimes combative\
 , around companies and individuals engaging in the use of these data. We p
 ropose that the interactions between these agents warrants a new topic of 
 study: Human-Data Interaction (HDI)\, that sits at the intersection of var
 ious disciplines\, including computer science\, statistics\, sociology\, p
 sychology and behavioural economics.\n\nIn this brief presentation I will 
 pose some of the challenges that HDI raises\, organised into three core th
 emes of legibility\, agency and negotiability. I will also outline some of
  the technical work we are currently undertaking that attempts to address 
 some of the underlying platform problems. My hope is to elicit discussion 
 of both the HDI framework and the technical solutions we are pursuing\, as
  well as to engage in a broader conversation about the ways we should appr
 oach the personal data ecosystem with other interested parties.\n\n\nSpace
