天美传媒影视 Campus : Sussex Humanities Lab (opposite SB211) Silverstone Building
Speaker: David Young & Josh Bowsher
Part of the series: SHL Digital PhD Advocate programme 2026
How can communities & individuals be empowered to have control over their own data, & decide for themselves how data is used?
Join us for the year’s first Breakfast in the Lab (formally Lunch in the Lab) on the theme of Digital Justice.
This transformative workshop will focus on data sovereignty as a framework for empowering communities and individuals to reclaim control over the ownership and use of their data, through the lens of law and cultural studies. Practical strategies to gain and maintain control over your data will be explored. Open discussions will be facilitated on digital authorship, cultural representation, and data sovereignty. And as always, lunch will be provided.
Open to PGRs and staff across Sussex. If you’d like to attend but are not a PGR or staff, please contact shl@sussex.ac.uk.
This workshop is ideal for everyone who wants to learn more about digital justice, engage in meaningful discussion on data sovereignty, and meet other like-minded individuals concerned or even quietly optimistic about the state of our digital futures.
Please register, so that we can plan lunch and refreshments accordingly. When registering on eventbrite please use your 天美传媒影视 email address
