About

AgenDa is a Research Council of Finland-funded (with decision n. 368166) project running for four years (01/09/2025-31/08/2029).
The hypothesis of AgenDa is that an embodied datafication literacy approach allows for a more comprehensive understanding of data agencies, and, in the end, strengthen human capacity to act on and with machines and mitigate data harms. Accordingly, AgenDa answers three interrelated research questions [RQs]:

[RQ1] With what concepts and methods do digital geographies, feminist philosophies, socio-legal studies, and design justice research in and beyond critical data studies explore data agencies and their physicalities and tangibilities?
[RQ2] How can qualitative, justice-oriented design methods support an embodied datafication literacy and make the multiple aspects (spaces, times, bodies, and experiences of (in)justice) of data agencies tangible and actionable?
[RQ3] How do interconnecting these multiple aspects and making them embodied, tangible, and actionable contribute to advancing transdisciplinary theories and methods of data agencies?
