Data and Democracy – Imperatives for Policy Research

Event

Data occupies an increasingly prominent place in policy discourse. Yet, as we celebrate its growing significance, there are important questions that often get displaced in the background. And these questions need a wider examination. How can policy research be in the service of democracy? What would such a shift demand from researchers, particularly those working in the field? The lecture will explore these questions by reflecting on the relationship between data, policy research, and democratic practice.
