New Perspectives in Critical Data Studies: The Ambivalences of Data Power is an edited, open access book containing papers from the 2019 conference. It picks up the conference theme of “global in/securities” and explores three ambivalences in relation to data power. First, the ambivalences that exist in the area of global infrastructures and local invisibilities, second, the ambivalences that emerge in the area of the state and data justice, and, third, the ambivalences that take rise in the area of individual everyday practices and collective action.
