Ethical Considerations in Data

In February 2021, University of California (UC) Libraries co-hosted UC Love Data Week, a series of free events for UC affiliates on a wide range of topics including: data publishing, data repositories, data cleaning, and text mining to name a few. In an interactive workshop entitled, "Ethical Considerations in Data", data librarians from UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego hosted an open discussion around data ethics focusing on case studies of participant data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the social justice components of research. The discussion includes an overview of related resources available at various UC campuses, including further reading available through the libraries and groups on UC campus conducting research in these areas.
