All Sessions by Chandra Kavanagh

  • Thursday April 11th


  • 15:45  - 16:45
    In a world of big data, cloud services, and social media, it can be difficult to know how to keep your data safe and secure. In a research environment with a wide variation in terms of technical literacy, the job of managing data gets even harder. In this presentation we will provide you with four simple tools to help you determine the risk level of your data and decide the safest and most ethical way to manage your data throughout its lifecycle, from collection to destruction. We will focus on the ways in which responsible digital data management can support diversity and inclusion and help us move toward a more equitable distribution of knowledge and power. From indigenous data sovereignty movements to the inclusion of rural and remote people though digital data transfer, responsible digital data management is a key part of promoting equity and our tools make it easy.
