Can uncertainty be visualised in educational data dashboards, if so, how and with what (pedagogical, social) implications? With @julianejarke.bsky.social, we found no uncertainty #dataviz in #edtech (no surprise), but examples in other fields (hence the title!)

Am Abend vor der Wahl dreht der Protofaschist und Antidemokrat #Merz vollkommen durch und beleidigt alle linken, sie hätten nicht mehr alle Tassen IM SCHRANK. 😳😳 Das ist unfassbar und eine skandalöse Entgleisung.

Central is the question of whether and how we can actually think (and imagine) outside of powerful anticipation regimes around the increasing spread and relevance of data-driven systems and/or ageist assumptions about how to ‘fix’ the problem of demographic ageing.

Juliane Jarke @julianejarke.bsky.social · Jan 20

With the paper we join others in their call to resist and challenge regimes of anticipations that suggest our futures are inevitably linked to certain imaginaries about data-driven systems. We explore how we might open up futures-making to different people in relation to futures of ageing.

Today is publication day for the new book - Critical Data Studies. But since my copies are stuck in Holyhead parcel pileup & open access version not yet available on publisher website I'm saving marketing stuff to new year. As a launch day it's a bit of an anti-climax! But it's no longer 'in press'

Earlier this month NZ’s “center-right coalition gov’t said it would divert half of the NZ$75 million Marsden Fund, the nation’s sole funding source for fundamental science, to ‘research with economic benefits.’ Moreover, the fund would no longer support any social sciences and humanities research” 😢

Amid cuts to basic research, New Zealand scraps all support for social sciences

Scientists shocked as “blue-sky” Marsden Fund has half its budget shifted to research focused on helping economy

Hi, so I've spent the past almost-decade studying research uses of public social media data, like e.g. ML researchers using content from Twitter, Reddit, and Mastodon.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵
