MISC CONFERENCEPersonal Data - It's Ours! |
|
|
Personal data it's ours! is the challenging statement that will be discussed during the 3 days of the next MISC conference. We will explore how digitised personal data records now play a central role in our life, from the record of a birth at a hospital (and the photos of the new born!) to the delivery of a death certificate at the registrar? How the increasing number of digital data, by and about ourselves, leads to the emergence of what is now referred to as 'digital identity', i.e. all the attributes and digital production by and about a person —school records, health records, employment records, business records, credit records, surveillance records etc. ? How and why se should provide greater personal control on personal data and one's digital identity? Along with researchers and practitioners working in a variety of fields (education, employment, healthcare, policy, technologies etc.) we will explore how the current changes in technologies and practices towards individualisation and socialisation can provide solutions to personal data control to the benefits of individuals and businesses alike.
