Datafied Refuge: Digital Boundaries for a Life in Refuge
Wed 13 November 2019
The Michaelhouse Centre
With smartphones to hand, many refugees today document their traversals and communicate with family scattered across the globe, creating and leaving data trails.
Once they reach an intermediary or final destination, biometric data is recorded in order to process visas or asylum documents, even to grant access to benefits schemes. As they enter new cultural and geographical contexts, refugees are subject to more data processing - as job seekers and housing applicants, or as users of civic tech for integration The workshop invites participants to take part in producing a set of easily accessible guidelines to ensure that the development of refugee centred technologies take a rights-based approach.
