Responsible Data Science Seminar 4 – Layered Frameworks

In this fourth session of the Responsible Data Science Seminar Series, we discuss techniques and challenges of generating layered frameworks for inter- or trans-disciplinarity that can resonate across fields.

We’re delighted to announce the fourth in our series of conversations about the value and challenges of interdisciplinarity in practice, featuring Sarah Pink, Professor of Design and Emerging Technologies and Lisa Given, Director, Social Change Enabling Capability Platform and Professor of Information Sciences at RMIT University in Melbourne.

This conversation focuses on how researchers navigate ‘Layered Frameworks’, combining efforts and models without losing discipline-specific definitions and traditions.

How can researchers from divergent worldviews layer their frameworks without losing the strength of diversity?

This series is co-sponsored by the Digital Ethnography Research Centre, RMIT University and the Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy at the University of Cambridge, together diverse voices from disparate disciplines like computer science and cultural studies to talk about their definitions of interdisciplinarity, as well as struggles and commitment to this practice.

This series also brings seasoned scholars together with Early Career Researchers to share practices across these levels. Each seminar is unique, but builds from the core premise that today’s “big issues” demand more attention to interdisciplinarity and that everyone benefits when research ecosystems integrate multiple perspectives, even when this is challenging and time consuming.

Speakers:

This seminar features the following participants:

– Sarah Pink, Professor of Design and Emerging Technologies, RMIT University

– Lisa Given, Director, Social Change Enabling Capability Platform and Professor of Information Sciences, RMIT University

– Annette Markham, Co-Director of the Digital Ethnography Research Centre and Professor of Media & Communication, RMIT University

– Gina Neff, Executive Director of the Minderoo Centre for Technology & Democracy, University of Cambridge
