Early announcement: Seminar on the political economy of health data, August 24, 2020
Dear collegaues, <br> <br>August 24, 2020, we will be hosting a seminar with a great list of prominent <br>experts on the political economy of health data. Please save the date if you <br>are interested in these issues! See official announcement attached. <br> <br>The political economy of health data: <br>infrastructures, flows and power <br> <br> <br>Seminar organized by Klaus Hoeyer (University of Copenhagen) and Alan Petersen <br>(Monash University) <br> <br>Contributors include: <br> <br>Mark Andrejevic (Monash U) <br>Ulrike Felt (U of Vienna) <br>Nina Hallowell (Oxford U) <br>Mette Hartlev (U of Copenhagen) <br>Linda Hogle (Madison-Wisconsin) <br>Jane Kaye (Oxford U) <br>Samuel Lengen (U of Virginia) <br>Moira Paterson (Monash U) <br>Barbara Prainsack (U of Vienna) <br>Tamar Sharon (Raboud U) <br>Sarah Wadmann (VIVE), <br>Brit Winthereik (IT University of Copenhagen) <br>Sally Wyatt (Maastricht U) <br> <br>With pervasive digitalization of everyday activities, our social, professional <br>and political life now unfold under new conditions. All forms of digitally <br>mediated activity potentially generate data and that data can be exchanged on <br>the platforms facilitating the activity. It has led some scholars to talk <br>about the emergence of a platform society. The platform society potentially <br>transgresses national boundaries and create new global data flows - but not <br>all data flow freely, and different national and supranational regimes are <br>emerging and they demarcate data use differently. If the Internet was once <br>said to make all information equally accessible for all, we today know that <br>new forms of data divides are developing. As data gain commercial value, they <br>become guarded by trade secrets and both commercial, political and national <br>security interests generate new divisions between those with access and those <br>without. <br>The new data divides influence how data is produced and used. This seminar <br>investigates the political economy of health data in light of the new division <br>of data access. Old distinctions between health data and other data seem to be <br>emerging and others eroding. If health data used to be seen as particularly <br>sensitive and guarded by special rules in various jurisdictions, it is today <br>the platform as much as the nature of the information that determines the <br>level of sensitivity - and in some jurisdictions whether they even count as <br>health data. There is a need to understand better the emerging global <br>political economy of health data and to explore how global variations create <br>very different power effects and involve very different potentials for data <br>subjects and data users. <br>The seminar compares data infrastructures in different geospheres by pursuing <br>the following cross-cutting themes of comparison: <br> <br> * Which actors build, control and use the data infrastructures for <br>healthcare and health-related research? <br> * What counts as health data? Are they guarded or defined in any <br>particular way? <br> * When infrastructural platforms are used for health data exchange, how <br>are they then connected and which geographical ties do they involve? <br> * How do technical, economic, regulatory and geographical features affect <br>the purposes to which data are put and by whom? <br> * How do policymakers construe and engage the affected publics? <br>PRACTICALITIES <br> <br> Participation in the seminar is free, but registration is required. <br>Details will be announced in January, 2020 <br> <br> The seminar will take place on August 24, 2020, at the University of <br>Copenhagen, Denmark <br> <br> Funded by Australian Research Council and the European Research <br>Council <br> <br> <br> <br>Klaus Lindgaard Hyer <br>Professor <br> <br>Kbenhavns Universitet <br>Det Sundhedsvidenskabelige Fakultet <br>Afdeling for Sundhedstjenesteforskning <br> <br>ster Farimagsgade 5A, Lokale 10.0.09 <br>DK-1014 Kbenhavn K <br> <br>T: 3532 7996 <br>F: 3532 7629 <br>M: 2625 6342 <br>S: k.hoeyer <br> <br> <br>[Titel: SD_Logo] <br> <br>[demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pdf which had a name of Political economy_early-announcement.pdf] <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
