Critical Perspectives on Data Access for Research provides a rich and interdisciplinary critique on regulation that opens the 'black box' of technology companies to researchers. It brings together scholars from across the globe, working in varied fields including critical legal studies, science and technology studies, critical data studies and digital humanities. The book explores questions of data access – to acquire and use data meaningfully as well as resist power. It covers a variety of themes, including the opportunities and challenges of the law as a tool for observing digital infrastructures, political economy of data access for research and the power dynamics between academia, private/public sector, and civil society. In doing so, the book also examines these questions in terms of the politics of knowledge production, discussing if there is a privileging of geographical and institutional contexts in data access regimes. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
Jef Ausloos is Assistant Professor at the Institute for Information Law, University of Amsterdam, and a research fellow at the centre for IT & IP law at the University of Leuven. His work centres around several information law issues – specifically data rights, transparency, and governance of digital infrastructures – and the broader political economy in which they operate. As such, Jef's research can be situated at the intersection of law, critical data studies and the politics of knowledge production. Siddharth Peter de Souza is an Assistant Professor of AI & Society and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methods, University of Warwick. His work explores how data is governed globally in contested and plural settings, and he is interested in the role that social movements and civil society can play in shaping digital transformations. He is also the founder of Justice Adda, a law and design social venture in India where he works on projects related to access to justice and legal empowerment.
