Continuation of JuDiCe (AgenDa) got Research Council of Finland funding!

The Scientific Council for Social Sciences and Humanities has decided to fund the continuation of JuDiCe: the new project is called ‘Agency in everyday Datafication‘ (AgenDa) and will be running from 09/2025 until 08/2029.
Here is public abstract of the project:

AgenDa makes everyday data tangible and operable. It creates a novel understanding of human agency in relation to machines in everyday datafication. It is a qualitative project with elements of theory- and method-formation. It examines existing research on human and machine co-constructed agencies; prototypes games with adults in higher education settings to physically operate on everyday data and make them more just; combines theory and fieldwork to lay the foundations of a new framework. The PI is an international scholar whose expertise is in human geography, theories of justice, and qualitative methods. AgenDa’s site of research is the University of Turku. The project is also supported by Northeastern University (Boston), University of Westminster (London, UK), and Halmstad University (Sweden). The major strengths of AgenDa are: making everyday data actionable through game-making; bridging the gap between human and machine agency; supporting embodied datafication literacy.
