DESCRIPTION:This workshop will analyse the contemporary political economy 
 of big data production and analysis through a series of provocation papers
  examining the implications of existence of data monopolies for ethical ag
 ency. It will ask where does a ‘monopoly’ lie in data? Is it in the ag
 gregation of data\, or in the processing\, or in the analysis? Does it mat
 ter that a handful of giant corporations dominate markets in social media\
 , search\, online mapping and a wide range of the digital services which p
 lay a central role in the production of big data? What is the relationship
  between states and corporations in the production and analysis of big dat
 a? Whose ethical decision-making matters the most in this complex landscap
 e: consumers\, elected and non-elected government officials\, judges\, cor
 porate executives or software developers? \n\nTo sign up visit http://www.
