GOVERNANCE BY DATA INFRASTRUCTURE

Citizenship
Sovereignty
Inequality
Biometrics
Digital ID
Health Tech

DATAGOV is an interdisciplinary research project examining GOVERNANCE BY DATA INFRASTRUCTURE; a concept explaining how societies are increasingly governed through the data they generate. We focus on biometrics, digital identity, and health technologies, with the aim to investigate how these technologies and infrastructures reshape sovereignty, citizenship, and inequality. DATAGOV aims to re-imagine and support more just and accountable data futures through our qualitative research on social and data lives of ordinary people in Brazil, EU, South Africa, and India

Who are we?

DATAGOV is a research collective exploring the intersections of data infrastructure, governance, and democratic participation in the digital age. Together, we form a collaborative lab committed to studying how data infrastructures shape democratic life. Our work is designed to share knowledge, co-create new insights, and contribute to debates and practices beyond the academic world.
