*Summer School: Debating Data: Problems and Perspectives of
Digitalisation *
25 - 31 August 2019, Potsdam, Germany
Convened by University of Potsdam & HSE University (Moscow and
Saint
Petersburg)
https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/isc/kurse/summerschool/dd.html
Even though rapidly progressing digitalization turns almost any
sphere of
modern life into an asset of Big Data, discussions about the uses,
reuses,
and abuses of data largely remain within the clearly confined
frameworks of
individual disciplines and institutions. The summer school
challenges this
persistent compartmentalization through a distinct
cross-disciplinary
approach.
In order to facilitate a dialogue between the branches of data
science, the
summer school brings together teachers and students from the
Humanities,
Social Sciences, Engineering and Natural Sciences to discuss the
potential
as well as the problems of digital technological change from an
international and interdisciplinary perspective.
We welcome up to *30 participants (advanced Bachelor and Master
students) *from
the above-mentioned fields of knowledge, who are interested in
investigating the transformations of a digitized world, drawing
upon
insights from an integrated interdisciplinary perspective,
combining their
specific interests and knowledge about Big Data within a broader
investigation on other fields of digitalization.
